a little annoyed

For once I agree with James. Go ahead and continue to give up your freedoms in the name of security, but do you really feel more secure? Just wait for them to start embedding RFID chips in your ass in the name of "security."

Freedom in this country exist only in illusion, you might be annoyed, but I'm discusted... :mad:
 
I spent a few years working for the FBOP (Fed Bureau of Prisons) and trust me you can beat those metal detectors and x-ray machines. My hats off to the TSA on their efforts to increase security! If they wanted to really increase security, they wouldn’t allow any carryon baggage at all. The best weapon you can have is the passengers and crew. The old days of going along with anyone with a knife are over because if you let them take the plane you’re dead. They might take a few passengers, but they can’t take on 100 or more. My brother is a 777 pilot and is a retired USAF Lt.Col. who flew F-4’s, F-5’s and F-16’s. He told me if anyone tried to take his plane by force, you had better strap yourself in because you will not be able to walk through the cabin while in flight.:cool::cool:
 
If TSA could only point to ONE SINGLE TERRORIST they had prevented from boarding a domestic flight, I would feel differently. They would publicize it, wouldn't they? We would all know about it, right? Does anyone have any info?

As it stands I will not fly again unless it is an emergency. After they threw away my sister's homemade blackberry jam because the jars were too big, that was it for me. I even showed them my gov't ID, mentioned that I am a veteran, 25 years service to my country, etc., etc.

You don't get a pass because you showed your ID card and related the other stuff to the TSA agent. The jars may be okay but the contents was more than allowed.
 
Let's be honest here, some of these TSA folks are self-loathing azzhats with too much power and too little customer service skills. It's obvious some hate their jobs, and they have no problem taking it out on you. Have you ever challenged one of them? I have, they hate to be wrong, and some of them don't even know the rules.
 
James48843, one problem is what if you miss and shoot through the plane causing the aerodynamic to be F! up then you would cause more harm then good.


or what if a terrorist know you have a gun and walk by and knock you on the head with a bottle of champagne, i dont care how super man you are, you gonna be knock out if a bottle champagne meet your head

#1- The plane will still fine is you missed. Trust me, I know. You won't harm a thing. In fact, the plane might not even know anything has happened.

#2- Yes, I might get knocked out by the champaign. But the other 100 passengers on the plane would notice the guy with the champaign bottle, and would take proper steps to ensure he didn't go any further.

No big deal.
 
Mmmm perhaps we're being a bit toooo harsh.


These 3D Body scans could actually be a very Huge 'turn on' ...
(I don't have a pic of someone panting with their tongue hanging out)

I mean no detailed face to embarrass the specific person ... and it would not be a distraction for the viewer either .....

soooo maybe we should keep them -- across the board :);)
