If they can draw up a “no-fly” list then why in HELL can’t they draw up a parallel list of proven-safe, frequent-flier passengers?
Let those known-safe fliers just breeze through security because they obviously won’t be causing any problems.
Not long ago I flew on a charter flight for a gambling junket and we had to go through the same bullshit security measures. Why? Everybody was known, by name, to the trip organizers, all of us had flown on the previous month’s trip and there was nobody in line younger than 40. Why did we need ANY security screening, let alone the full-Monty TSA shakedown? Ridiculous!
But of course, they’re not doing it for safety. They’re training us to get used to the idea that there is no privacy ... for your own safety, you understand.
Because those people would be the perfect weapon. Someone who won’t be searched. Just make them carry this carry-on and threaten their family with torture at the last instance.
This is a war. We should’ve attacked all muslim countries after 9-11. There was no other choice. We took the stupid route.
