Meanwhile, just maybe 45 min. south of O’side, in “National” City (better dubbed International Hangout), which several years back was declared a “sanctuary” by its Chicano “mayor,” the illegals keep pouring in, pouring in…utterly unscathed.

Wait, they forced him to leave and told him they’d give him a fine if he did?
That said, as much as I’d normally say it’s easier to just cooperate, airport security is insane these days. If any other business put their customers through some of that stuff they’d go bankrupt.

I’ve always wondered why gun advocates have never protested even the gun laws at airports. One would want to protect himself when flying, no?

I would think so. After all, if there were enough pistol packing passengers on a flight, the first man who took out a weapon with evil on his mind would get blown away by the hail of bullets. True, there would a lot of holes in the fuselage and a resultant loss of cabin pressure, but that’s a small price to pay for security,

Not if you use frangible rounds like the air marshalls do.

People complain and complain that they want tighter security etc…well, now we’re getting it and people are* still* complaining? I don’t get it. Deal with it. So you get a pat down. So what. “Sexual assault” guy? Gimme a break. What the heck are these agents supposed to do? You think they like giving a pat down there? Come on. This guy was a buffoon in my book…just trying to stir the pot.

How about we do a little profiling and give the more intense searches to those who fit the profile of terrorists? People don’t want tighter security, they want smarter security.

Is it really tighter security, or is it just security theater? The belief of many people, including myself, is that usually it’s the latter.

Well, since the full details of the the TSA’s process for reviewing current and potential employees is not available to the public that question cannot be answered with confidence.

I don’t travel a lot. I come at this without a lot of experience in airports. Is the scanning method effective? Is it the most effective method?
Being a worry wart in general, I know that I would want to feel secure in knowing that the other passengers on my flight have been scrutinized completely.
What is the major problem people have with this method?
I’m still undecided about how I feel about this.

I just got back from a weekend trip to Chicago and was neither patted down nor subjected to a full body scan on any leg of my trip. In fact I didn’t notice any difference whatsoever between the security on this trip and on a trip I have taken in the last 10 years. I guess this is being selectively enforced?

Who complained that they wanted tighter security at airports? I guarantee it was someone who never flew before.

You know those x-ray glasses comics used to advertise?
This is the real thing. No issues if you aren’t concerned about modesty.

What does TSA stand for? Totalitarian State Authority?

I do not recall any public complaints that security was not tight enough from anyone.
Can you post some kind of reference for this supposition?

Then why are we leaving the government in charge of it? What smart thing does the government ever do? They spend too much and take too long to do a half-a** job of everything. I do know that the charter flight industry is totally loving the TSA Peep and Grope Show. You can fly on a chartered plane without all of the nonsense. Costs more, but maintaining my personal dignity and the dignity of my children is worth it to save them from the mechanations of some paid-by-the-hour TSA security rube pawing all over them.

Pretty much. I am digging the “refuse the scan” protest that people are encouraging the day before Thanksgiving, called the “National Opt-Out Day”.

Actually, the Airlines are going to have to do the heavy lifting on this one. As soon as this nonsense affects their bottom lines, they will petition Congress to change the rules. We just have to vote with our wallets. With the exception of a family emergency trip to Puerto Rico last year, I haven’t flown anywhere in over 5 years. I take the train, the bus, or I drive. In fact, the Accela from Washington DC to New York City takes less time than flying, if you take into account going through security, the flight itself, baggage claim, and taking a cab in from the outskirts of town. Plus, its cheaper.
