Talk about intrusion. Talk about giving up freedom. Soviet Russia also had safe airports, folks! Same fucking cause and reason. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 857939Your logic exceeds the mental capacity of those within the Obama administration...))) A tree's logic exceeds... yeah. But the OP is right, and that story made it sound like the TSA is stupid beyond belief (but hey, I've seen particularly stupid government agents, so I can see it happening). Governments are being increasingly retarded (yes, retarded) and it will only get worse.

Those sort of people give off completely different signals than most people, and could come up as false positives on psychological screening.

They can X-ray our boxers, they can check for explosives in every bodily orifice, but we're still not going to be safe; it's not only people's bodies but their backgrounds, their nationalities, and especially their eyes. Quoting: ~GAIA~Israel has the most secure airport in the world. I cannot imagine for a moment that a man with nitroglycerine in his undies would ever have made it on an Israeli plane. And why? Because they would have asked him some simple, direct questions with the purpose of studying his reactions. You're from Nigeria. You're going to the US. Why? How long are you staying? What is your purpose? And where is your return ticket? All along they would be scrutinizing not his bodily bulges but his twitches. What Israel excels at is not even ethnic profiling so much as psychological profiling. But how can we ever hope to study people's suspicious behavior when Transportation Security Administration agents are wasting their precious time on the most innocent of passengers who don't fit any kind of terrorist profile? On the way to Chicago last week, my 11-year-old daughter's backpack somehow merited secondary screening. For 10 minutes a TSA agent performed about seven explosive swab tests on every knickknack a young girl might carry onto a plane. Her reading books seemed to be of particular interest. I could only roll my eyes and pray for patience. While this went on, approximately 50 adults passed through without any secondary screening because my 11-year-old occupied the agent's rapt attention. Could this have gotten any more ridiculous? [link to www.jpost.com] [link to israelinsider.ning.com] Dear sir, poor sir, brave sir: You are an experiment by the Creator of the Universe.
