I have a prediction, which I hope DOESN’T come true:
The terrorists are going to do an end-run around all this silly airport security with a major strike using a major weapon inside a city (dirty bomb or something else)... a strike that COULD be prevented by profiling, preventive police work and tougher visa controls but won’t be.
Hundreds (or more) will die and the TSA will continue sticking their fingers up their own and America’s collective butts to no avail.
I hope I’m wrong. But it’s what I fear.
Of course you are right.
They will cease the attack on the well defended front and go after a flank.
When soldiers go to war against lawyers, lawyers die
Unfortunately I think such an event would be the signal to drastically expand the TSA to the point that we see them everywhere. The unionized TSA will be Obama’s huge civilian security force.
