Progress being.. remove shoes, belts, and outer clothing . Surrender your children to pointless gropings, Fondle old women and old men. Make people toss out any carryon beverages or snacks? X-Ray people with prosthetic knees, etc? Progress toward what? A world order? Heil , Heil, right in the Fureher's face!
Do any of you remember the idiots who did security before 9/11? Much better now believe it or not. Give it back to the airlines and we'll kill 10 years of progress.
Did anyone see the news item about the TSA suspended 12 workers and is planning to fire 36 workers and managers in Hawaii? Seems they weren't doing their jobs while screening luggage.
Subject: New airport scanners
Here's a simple 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..."
