Maybe they weren't going to do anything on THIS flight, but I suspect they weren't headed to Mexico so they could sightsee the ruins at Tulum.

Something about pre-screening the names, giving them to the government before takeoff was apparently some "civil rights" issue that only allows names to be passed after take-off. Can't recall the specifics, but that's the gist of it.

So why don't passenger names go to the list for checking as soon as the ticket is booked? That would leave only a few to be checked as last minute purchasers and everyone should be checked before the flight takes off.

The fact they forward the names AFTER take-off is problem.
Actually that would be a good thing, if they ejected them from the plane immediately.
Problem solved.

***I heard yesterday that the government run TSA is no better than when it was civilian contracted. Gee! What a surprise that was. Another government run agency that is a waste of money.***
Blame it on the libs. They refused to vote for a private contractor. It had to be UNION-gov't workers.
