I am not advocating that we get rid of those rules, as they don't reduce our dignity. The TSA gropefest however...Of course a determined foe can find a way around most procedures or safeguards. That doesn't mean you should throw your hands in the air and declare the situation hopeless. If reasonable safeguards (locking the door to the flight deck, requiring at least two people in the cockpit at all times, etc) deter or thwart 99% of these lunatics, they should be implemented IMO.
How long does it take you to produce one of those bottles and how many do you sell?
People like the TSA. The TSA makes them feel warm and fuzzy.
When the TSA does body cavity searches, you get back in line for seconds, don't you? :awe:
Security in a nuclear power plant trumps what you will find at any airport in the U.S. There's nothing wrong with privatizing airport security if you do it like the Nuclear Regulatory Commission mandates its power plants. Hell, most nuclear power plants security force will make local swat teams look bad.
TSA needs to be dismantled for good.
Based on the nonsensical rant you posted and the fact that you believe Democrats care about you any more than Republicans, I'm going to say you are an unhinged liberal, even if you don't admit it.
Airline security used to be private until government decided they needed to get involved. Now we spend a lot more money and are no more secure.
So what's wrong with reverting to private security? Do you think the airline want their $100M airplanes blowing up on a regular basis? No. Sometimes greed IS good. Which Democrats are championing going back to our cheaper just-as-good security?

Well said.The cockpit doors are locked now and the lack of those locks is what allowed the 9/11 hijackers to gain control of the planes and the crashes to happen. Also, two people are required in the cockpit at all times. These TSA idiots seem to be able to find and confiscate nail clippers and corkscrews but can't seem to find bombs and guns. Does anyone seriously believe that after 9/11, passengers would sit idly by while a couple of maniacs with scissors, nail clippers, screwdrivers, or corkscrews take over the passenger cabin? A poster at another forum told a story about the time he had a 6-way screw driver in his computer bag. The TSA took it away, of course. But then he heard someone run up behind him yelling 'Sir! Sir! Look... If you break down your screw driver into the basic parts then none of them are more than 4" long. As long as you leave it in parts you can take it on with your carry-on.' I mean SERIOUSLY?
What they need to focus on is finding bombs and firearms and screw everything else, but evidently even that's too hard for them.
Excellent point, and agreed.Security in a nuclear power plant trumps what you will find at any airport in the U.S. There's nothing wrong with privatizing airport security if you do it like the Nuclear Regulatory Commission mandates its power plants. Hell, most nuclear power plants security force will make local swat teams look bad.

People like the TSA. The TSA makes them feel warm and fuzzy. All of those fancy machines must be protecting them! And the TSA has badges! The badges mean they are well trained officers!
The TSA is a joke. They are toothpaste thieves and that's it.
Well they are a joke because they have zero power. First mistake was not making them peace officers. That would immediately change the tone and seriousness of their job. If you want to see how to properly protect your airports, look at Israel...
The yahoos that run it now or the fucks that the government would hire? No thanks. I don't disagree with your Israel point but it's a quite smaller scale. I don't think we can do/afford that.Well they are a joke because they have zero power. First mistake was not making them peace officers.

Interesting argument-it is the other guys fault because the GOP didn't have a filibuster proof majority to ram through what they purportedly meant to do, as opposed to what they actually did do. "Never my fault" is certainly the modern GOP's true touchstone.
We already had privatized airport security before 9/11, and that was proven inadequate.
ok that looks bad.
67 out of 70 tests...
but hey since 9/11 how many airplanes have bumped in to a building?
none.
a deterrent is the best deterrent.

I 100% agree. There were a lot of us hoping the TSA would be modeled after Israel. Instead we got whatever pile of junk we have now.
I should note that I have only had positive experiences with the TSA. They are always friendly, professional and helpful. Their employees seem well trained and do a great job.
