Kabuki theater security...

And at Dulles, half the screeners are wearing hijabs...

And they treat us normal travelers feel like criminals!

I have a business trip scheduled later this month. I’ll be driving the 10 hours rather than subjecting myself to the idiocy of U.S. airline travel.

After the attacks, people demanded the government “do something” — and “something” is exactly what it did: It took over the role of airport security and bloated it to its current size, with more than 50,000 employees and a budget of more than $7 billion.

This is now a full blown governmental bureaucracy. Thank You Shrub!

It’s now fully 18 years after 9/11. Perhaps it’s time to rethink our airport-security system and realize that what we implemented in our most fearful moments no longer serves us well.

Maybe I can get my $8 bottle of boot leather conditioner back that they threw away on me because of its obvious risk.

Meanwhile, Farouk, and Muhammad are loading the cargo. While Muhammad and Muhammad drive the catering truck through the gate, without inspection, right up to the aircraft and have direct access to the entire vehicle. Including the cockpit.

Why do we stand for it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don’t.

I quit flying when Bush Jr. invented the TSA.

Amen.

9-11 will not happen again because anyone who acts-up on a plane now risks being beaten to death by his fellow passengers.

And traveling with teenage daughters is always an exercise in fury control for me. Amazing how they always get pulled aside for a pat down. While i stand shaking in absolute bloodlust watching. My cartoon bubble has me destroying the creep in various ways.

My wife has to restrain me from going off and getting arrested and banned.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating

There have been no hijackings with the tSA on the job.

The author woke up and was clueless about what to write so he ground out some sentences critical of the TSA

Force Congress, Senators and lobbyists to go thru this and it will stop tomorrow.

Pic has to be photo-shopped; or posed by a P.R. firm.

1 Area is entirely too well lit
2 Only 6 obvious persons of color. (4 are employees)
3 ALL employees are working
4 Nobody is in sweat pants or pajamas.
5 All lanes are open

There still is a risk from smuggled guns and bombs that can depressurize a jet airplane.

There still isn’t any security on the AM airband. Other than good weather and visual conditions, what stops anyone with a handheld from directing a Cessna (especially with an inexperienced student) into a Heavy on approach other than having to know the correct jargon?

“And they treat us normal travelers feel like criminals!”

How does the looks of a normal traveler vary from those of a terrorist? If we didn’t have terrorists who try to smuggle things on a plane like we had a 911, we wouldn’t need anyone to check on us except for the comfort of the other passengers. Get rid of the terrorists, and all that’s left are the idiots. Best way to take care of them is not to let them on a plane with items that can do harm to other people and make them buy a ticket of higher price for a second aircraft due to the inconvenience they cause.

Then you won’t see therapy animals like horses, ducks and geese on a leash, turkeys, a blow up doll (female), kangaroo, a bearded dragon, a pig, a marmoset, snakes (Delta stopped theirs), a peacock, a chicken, a squirrel, a goat...there are more. But you get the idea, I’m sure. We have enough problems without bomb vests, shoe bombs, and hidden weapons even if they are not gong to use them. Oh, every one of those animals I posted has been on a plane as a help animal. And some others were not allowed on. But I think the one that takes the cake is the guy who tried to bring a full sized leaf blower on board. It’s just people, some dishonest, some stupid.
