Quoting: Anonymous Coward 59892237 It doesn't say they're looking for files, it says they're looking for incendiary devices. No sense in trying to make people with no common sense understand. Can you imagine the hours/days it would take to go through every passenger's files/data? |

This. This is the funniest fucking part of the whole thing. We have the intelligence to know that they have these devices because we fucking bought and paid for them. People are so stupid. Do they really believe that the NSA knows all of this shit but doesn't know when the devices are going to be used or who is going to be using them? Fucking sheep. |

Em18966 (OP) User ID: 57844656 United States 07/06/2014 08:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Now they are saying if you are coming into the US from a foreign airport and you are carrying a device that doesn't power up you have to leave it behind and/or you will be subjected to 'additional screening.' Now I understand that these devices may be explosives or detonation devices or something, I understand the reasoning, but this is getting extreme. They have admitted that the devices they are searching for can be so tiny that they could be sewn into seams or even be put under people's SKIN. So what are they really accomplishing with these screening protocols? Nothing, aside from harassing people. I mean, are they really going to FIND these devices? Fuck no - they couldn't even find a PLANE, remember? This is nothing more than another way they are getting people accustomed to having no personal privacy. [link to www.cnn.com] |
