This is actually a security risk. Now all the terrorists have to do is send in a bunch of decoys who will complain and cause a scene before the real carrier goes through, allowing the terrorists to bypass the more involved searches.

TSA is so unbelievably short-sighted. The reality is that those who look to attack will look for those things which aren't heavily guarded, or the loopholes like this one in the so-call security we've set up.

Israeli security note this behavioral manifestation as well as its polar opposite can be indicative.

When was the last time the TSA actually caught a terrorist?

Got a video camera and are you arrogant? You're now a terrorist. Also, do they have any science to back any of their, bogus, claims? As with most security, even so called, Cyber Security, it's all probably a smoke screen to keep a bunch of people employed on that fat TSA budget.

Transportation Security Administration officers are working on the edge where bad people are and bad things happen. They are doing a job I for one would not wish to do, they are doing the job well!
Do I want to know about every actual terrorist or nutter, (it's not always political) they capture?
No I wouldn't. I’d rather they dealt with it secretly, and no big press release is made.
What do you think they should do when they discover a device on a passenger?
1) Tell them to go away and not do it again?
2) Take the device off them and then 2 above?
3) Expose the device to the adjacent crowd and try to embarrass the fool?
4) Say "Hands up you under arrest"?
5) Wrestle them to the ground and hope?
6) Place a handgun against their temple and pull the trigger?
I know which of those I would want to happen, but you can sleep easy because I’m not in charge; dedicated people from the TSA are in charge and make no mistake about it, thats the front line they are guarding!

Looks like I'm a terrorist now.

We've known that for years...

Being a professional profiler is easier than I thought. I'd figure it'd at least need a masters degree in criminal justice or psychology. As it turns out you just need a GED and a resting blood pressure level below 140/90 and the ability to make decisions based on who annoys you, and you too can be a professional profiler.

No more petulant bleating from you sheep d'y-hear?

Ugh, don't be so deluded.

You never hear about the TSA capturing a terrorist cause there are no terrorist.

No one that works for the TSA is working there for National Security. They work there because of the guaranteed employment and benefits.

You can sleep easy at night because you're not the one being detain without cause, or having your loved ones deported or your toddler molested then drug tested.

I know you've been indoctrinated with endless propaganda.. but it's time to think [and see] for yourself.

Ahh good thing I don't need to fly anywhere. I hope the airline industry bellyups so we can start again.

So.. wait, they say 9/11 took a few years of planning right? Getting plants in the country, teaching them to fly, etc.

..what's to stop them from getting jobs in the TSA and just letting their buddies through?

According to this report the TSA based their entire security model off the one lucky interaction that stopped the supposed '20th terrorist'. Not the failed procedures that let the first 19 through. That tells you everything you need to know.

This is really scary!!

It`s like 1984 became real.. just more refined.

And this is why I go through all sorts of inconvenience not to travel through the States unless I'm going TO the States, in which case, I drive.

that was either a masterfully delivered piece of satire or you are functionally retarded in a very literal sense of the word........im leaning toward the latter

Written by Sen. Sam Slom, R-Hawaii

"For years, a growing number of people and organizations have raised red flags about the operations of the TSA, its costs and its effectiveness, or lack thereof, of ever identifying a single terrorist or crime, while inconveniencing and traumatizing hundreds of citizens. Now TSA will be unionized."

I told a TSA agent I had a bomb in my testicles and the only way to disarm it was to tug repeatedly on this hard, fleshy, cylindrical "firing pin".

They assured me they could disarm it by inserting a similar device into my exposed rear-end.

Homeland security wins again.
