Cant we just kill them before they get to the airport. Once there it is unlikely they will be caught, just saying.

Stunning. And yet the TSA goes after bloggers reporting on the TSA rule book—released by the TSA. Is this what the Mad Hatter (Alice Through the Looking-glass) would look like if he ran a country’s security?

Oh Gosh! I should have proof read the article.

This morning on WBAB in Dallas they reported that the incident occurred 12/26/09

I was once walking back across the border from Palomas, Mexico, and the US border post was unattended. I stopped in the building on the US side, waited for a while, yelled for someone, then gave up and went to my car in the border parking lot. It was odd.

I’m sure that unionizing the TSA will solve this problem

How could the guards leave their post without signing in the replacements? That means the guards don’t give a sh!t about professionalism and are probably protected by a union from any corrective action or firing. They should be immediately and summarily dismissed and never hired again anywhere. As should their supervisors for failing to train them properly.

“Dallas-based aviation security expert Denny Kelly said an hour and a half is too long”

How about ONE SECOND is too long

"...the US border post was unattended."

Probably a large scheduled shipment was coming through.

I can hear it now... Those historic words of Tom Daschle regarding airport security:

“We don’t professionalize until we Federalize”

Could have would have should have. Ho hum is all I can say for that lapse.

Come on folks, what is needed is profiling for al Qaida terrorists.

How much professionalism do you expect for $25k a year?

The “system” obviously worked, since no one got past the checkpoint. By Stupid Napolitano logic...
