You seem to be under the impression that the TSA actually has the main function of making air travel safer. That may be part of their function, but neither the main part, nor a part that they have ever performed.

We can consider their real function more dispassionately, perhaps, by at one of their historical antecedents, far removed from our time. In that light, I present the following history lesson:



and also this elementary-school level primer on an important facet of the radiation exposure to which the TSA subjects people:

You seem to be missing MY point...

When you go to the airport, you have to get in line to go through a security checkpoint- you know this going in.

Lets ASSUME it is doing the job it is supposed to be doing, searching for terrorists.

With me so far?

Does anyone here think it is wise to get into that line with an extravagently designed watch with unusual switches and wires sticking out of it? And footware that has additional compartments?

My only point here is THIS GUY WAS ASKING FOR IT!! It appears to me he did it delibrately and wanted the attenditoin he got, and he inconvenienced a lot of people with this stunt AND could have distracted security long enough for something really dangerous to go through.

Not smart at all.

This was not some innocent guy who ran afoul of some govt gestapo- he did something clearly on-purpose to get attention, and now he is complaining that he got attention.

[Mr. K]

AND!!! let me add: This little stunt will only ENFORCE the governments position that they need to grow their gestapo agencies even more.

Thanks to this dumba$$.
