you can’t complain about the new procedures’ ineffectiveness. It will take time to show how effective it is in catching terrorists.

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.

Your comment about the previous terrorist attack attempts is a swipe at the old system. Your “solution” is a swipe against the new system, which we’ve not yet had time to evaluate.

I mentioned Air Marshals as another possible solution. I didn’t attribute the statement to you or any other poster. There is no strawman. Either don’t comment or shoot it down.

I point out an argument against your solution and you act like a child. Way to drag your own post down into the gutter.
