Man won't submit to security, TSA won't let him fly. Who's right?

The last attacks that were thwarted were explosives stuffed into copier toner containers. How would feeling up a passenger have prevented those from blowing up?

Me me!! I loved it when that woman copped a feel. It made me feel "special".

Just kidding!

Honestly, I don't even know what is the point. If someone wanted to do harm, they will find a way.

All we have to do is build this big black scary structure that we have to go through and say that it has AI and it will scan everyone and determine if someone has something or is carrying something. It will "know" what kind of a liquid one is carrying and if there are any metal objects. All without any radiation or any harmful effects whatsoever. And without a person looking at any naked pictures.

I'm sure y'all are asking "Do we even have the technology?"

Hell yes we do. We have very nice materials to make this scary big black structure and we have the capability of lying too. :D
 
The other "innovation" by terrorists is the explosive hidden in the anal cavity of the suicide bomber (it's been used once in a land attack).

Here's an idea.

Let's take care of an Obamacare expense and airport security in one step.

When passengers go to the airport they can get their colonoscopy and security cavity check in one convenient stop at the terminal.

I heard a woman being interviewed on the radio tonight. She was 70 years, from Charleston, and had flown overseas at the beginning of October, before the new rules came into effect. On her return trip, she changed planes in Atlanta. The TSA employee said that the woman needed to be patted down. The old lady agreed to it because she was expecting the old way, back of the hand, no groin area contact. She was shocked when she felt herself being groped!

How many of you feel safer about flying knowing that the old lady got groped?

:hmm: the woman's story seems odd. Wondering why she would have been re-screened for a connecting flight. Even the terminal changes in Atlanta remain secure.

She flew overseas. Which means from a different country. You still have to go through security again when flying in from another country.

I would send mine through the scanner..... That being said.....If the pat down were equal to the one I had last month I wouldn't have a problem with my kid going through it.

Miami?? That's odd. I lived in Miami. Miami Airport wasn't meant to be for connecting flights, so the terminals were not connected together like in ATL. So you'd have to go through security again simply just for going into a new terminal.

She was surprised, too. She thought that was odd. Apparently, it's unique to Atlanta. She said that she won't quit flying because she loves to travel but she will never change thru Atlanta again. She will arrange her flights to change thru Chicago.

For those not familiar with Charleston's weird flight plans, almost all flights have to change from either Atlanta or Chicago from Charleston. It's one of those "you-can't-get-here-from-there" places. Southwestern just started here this month, so they might improve the CONUS flights.
 
Probably, more people will get a new form of cancer from that stupid scanners if they are willing to accept to go thru the devil machine.

Every time Hubby drives his van onto the Air Force Base, he has to slowly drive it thru the huge machine that xrays all the large vehicles. He is sitting in it the whole time.

More rads. Maybe we should all start wearing dosimeter badges to monitor our exposure. :hmm:

It became effective Oct. 29. Did you travel after that date?

not at my school.

Mine either. I attended four high schools in two states, and none of them had any kind of security, or any kind of violence.

Hubby attended a bused-in, inner city high school in Lansing, and they didn't have anything either. He said there was a little old lady vice principal that kept everyone in line.

Right to travel.....yes. Right to travel on a commercial airline from a goverment regulated port without following the regulations no.

FYI....You also do not have the right to travel US roads without a license. Nor do you have the right to travel the roads in a vehicle deemed unfit for travel or unregistered.

There is no right to fly. You can fly but if you CHOOSE to do so you also CHOOSE to comply with the regulations that come with it. Simple really.

Um, does that include hitchhikers and those that ride with licensed drivers? Your statement to travel US roads w/o a license is ridiculous at best.

Oh no doubt since they put alot of hours flying during the course of their shift(s) each and every day.
