THE SOLUTION TO TSA BULLSHIT AND A SANER, LESS INFURIATING WAY TO FLY

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Oh haha now the Christians are having a problem, too: http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/3927915508.html

[Cramulus]

interesting prediction, nigel

I think that if the TSA killed somebody, the news would be TERRORIST SLAIN and it would end up being an argument FOR these horrible things


either way, I think that future textbooks about this period will have to print a little sidebar about what privacy was.

I still want to know why keeping terrorists from setting their junk on fire is desirable.

If anything we should be encouraging this.  It can't possibly do good things for their recruitment figures.

This is awesome. New Jersey legislators are taking on the TSA. It looks like the body scanners and groping are going to be the thing that finally sinks the security theatre.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

GO GO NEW JERSEY!

No, I think this shit is coming to a head.

I honestly have no idea what the level of awareness of the average person is. Not to sound condescending.

FTR, the only reason I object to the groping is because there's no follow-through.

The main problem with an Israel-like airport security system being used in the USA is that a more competent, efficient handling of terrorist threats in a manner that is more proportional to the actual degree of threat wouldn't be very good at generating fear.

I mean, how are you supposed to get Americans to give up those juicy, delicious "rights" if every trip through an airport doesn't remind them of the REAL AND PRESENT DANGER?

[A Villager]

What would become of the expensive scanners they bought if they were replaced by trained humans? What a waste.

[Triple Zero]

Does this mean Israelis are now sand-nags who love Obama?

Of course. Additionally, they're all muslims form Kenya.

The great irony is if we the people showed much less fear and more brazen we don't give a fuck about potential bombs then that means the terrorists are losing. The other way the only people who win are terrorists and the guys selling the gear to do these searches.
