“When our current system is 100% perfect in preventing shoe bombers, Fruit of the Loom bombers, and cargo bombs, get back to me.”
Again, I don’t support the current measures. However, it is newly implemented. It will take time to show how effective it is in catching terrorists.
You can complain about the intrusive searches, but you can’t complain about the new procedures’ ineffectiveness until there is data to scrutinize. The measures are too new.
The failed terrorist attacks you reference occurred under the old system, and I think its fairly obvious to us all that you aren’t going to catch cargo bombs by searching an individual.
It would probably cost less to put more Air Marshals on the planes than it does to conduct these expanded searches.
No one ( neither I or anyone else on this thread) has commented on the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the new measures. This is a strawman argument of your creation.
To use **your** reasoning, how can we know if pre-screening ( similar to government security clearances) would be effective or not unless we TRY it!!!
I strongly suspect that the reason TSA does not implement a pre-screening system is that BLACKS would fail disproportionally, and WHITES would pass disproportionally.
It would probably cost less to put more Air Marshals on the planes than it does to conduct these expanded searches.
Neither I or any other poster on this thread has mentioned "Air Marshals". Why are you throwing out this strawman? I can not argue against a strawman of **your** creation.
Not proof read. I have stuff to do.
