Refusal of Calif airport screening is Internet hit
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A man who refused a body scan and pat-down search at a San Diego airport has become an Internet sensation in the debate weighing fliers' security versus their privacy. John Tyner post . . . (flightaware.com) Daha Fazlası...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
@209: Nice!
I feel sorry for those of you who feel it necessary to defend or accept the TSA's latest round of inspection procedures. You appear to be suffering under the impression that the show put on, in the name of security, at the airport checkpoint in some way reduces the chance that your airline flight might be the target of a terrorist attack. While there is an extremely outside chance it may act as a deterrent to a mentally unstable attention getter, I'm convinced that that show merely amuses the terrorists.
The enemies of our nation are smart, dedicated to their cause, and knowledgeable about our security procedures and systems. There are far too many ways to bypass airport security measures and the bad guys know them. Funding the TSA's checkpoint security show is a useless and colossal waste of money. You surrendering your 4th amendment rights accomplishes nothing. Attention should be focused on potential evil-doers. While it is not “politically correct” it is going to require profiling, like it or not.

OK, so you don't like armed guards, How about this?
Here's a possible solution to the controversy over full-body scanners at airports.
Develop an enclosed booth that passengers step into but, instead of X-raying them, when the door closes, it will detonate any explosive device they have hidden on or in their body. The explosion will be contained within the sealed booth. This would be a win-win for everyone!
There would be no concern about racial profiling. The booth would eliminate long, expensive trials.
You're in the airport and you hear a muffled explosion, followed by an announcement over the PA system, "Attention, standby passengers, we now have a seat available on flight number..."

What the hell good is a lawsuit and a fine going to do? I can't believe how much of a JOKE the so-called TSA is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Armed guards... I don't think that works... That'd be like putting two potential terrosits with weapons that could probably kill everyone on the plane in minutes... There was that soldier in Fort Worth... who knows if there will be second???
Masonroni has the answer, put a visable armed presence on the plane. One in the front and one in the back. It would be cheaper than hiring these idiotic TSA agents who do nothing to help the situation. I personally have opted to take the train more often when traveling cross country. It's a lot more relaxing, keeps my blood pressure down and slows me down where I should be and the food is quite good.
The TSA is now checking 'Things' instead of people. Shoes, underwear, soda, shaving cream, food.
Our government has reached a new level of lunacy. The TSA should be abandoned and yes! profiling should be promoted and advertised. After all, we are submitting our law abiding citizens to gross humiliations in the guise of political correctness. Checking private body parts and requiring women to submit to these intrusive searches is a travisty of our way of life which I feel is a major infringement on our freedom. These TSA agents and those who instituted this procedure should be sued for sexual harassment as well. Put armed guards on the plane!
