Title: Dear terrorists, if you want to take explosives on to a plane...
Post by: ahasp on January 13, 2011, 11:58:47 PM
travel with small children.  My family went on vacation to Orlando last week and on our way out there (from Milwaukee, WI) and back (from Orlando International), we were at security gates that had body scanners.  On our way out, we weren't in the direct line to use the scanner, but we also could have been waved over.  On our way back, we were in the line for the scanner and the TSA guy blocked us from going through it and directed us to the metal detector along with everyone else that had small children.  It turns out that it is against DHS/TSA regulations to separate parents from their children as part of the security screening (I found it on their website) and the body scanners are a one person at a time thing. 

What does this mean?  This screening method is absolutely useless.  All you have to do is bring a small child with you and you can blow the airplane up along with an additional child.

Like that is news to any would be terrorist.  There are many ways to get around the TSA.  There are easier targets which would cause a panic. 

The TSA is just another government make work program and another way to transfer wealth to well connected industries.  The main thing the TSA has accomplished is sacrificing every American's freedoms. 

Arming Pilots and reinforcing cockpits has done way more to stop hijackers than anything else.  The other effective line of defense is a well informed public who now know that they have to fight back or potentially die.

The security theater should be called slave conditioning training.

Agree on all points.

I remember within days after 9/11 someone on TV was all hysterical about how to prevent another 9/11, and a commentator said that "This was a one-shot deal."

He went on to say that there were all kinds of other "soft targets" that they could hit if they wished, as passenger jets would now be more difficult. But, as we've seen in the 10 years since, even hitting soft targets isn't necessary.

Bush did everything bin Laden wanted him to do ("we will bleed you with a thousand paper cuts") and Obama is just the third term of Bush.

The sun is setting on the American Empire.

If they really wanted to inspire terror they would go outside elementary schools at about 3:00. That would do it, families would be living in fear.
