Thankfully I don’t work at an airport or anything involving TSA.
I sit at a warehouse and deal with lost drivers wondering where Home Depot is because GPS sent them to me instead.
But the word in the business is that the muslims have been testing the waters by bringing loose wires, batteries, and disassembled electronic devices in their luggage to see what gets caught.
And they have been doing this since 2001/2002.
And security who IS on the ball and serious about their work does not catch everything.
TSA, not on the ball, not serious, and basically just an “annoy the citizens” program, doesn’t catch everything.
What they have caught has been basically luck and skin of the teeth.
But they have not stopped any actual attacks.
Which unfairly reflects back on the rest of us.
Most citizens who love this country appreciate ALL security people. The ones in Warehouses and the like ARE the “Front line” as far as I’m concerned.
I worked in a Jewelry dept. and we found correspondence on a note in arabic type writing as well as english, which was inside (Hidden underneath the insert) of a small “returned” Jewelry box.
This was handed to security who then notified the state police who took it from there.
I would learn later the information was significant enough to be investigated further though they would not of course reveal how.
