 This was in 2010 and the general retired last year, I just posted it apropos of the punisher discussion. Wonder if the fresh-faced PIO in charge of the facebook page will even get the reference.

A nerd friend of mine from Toronto tried to get a kush-grenade from some gaming convention in LA through the screeners at LAX and spent the next six hours getting grilled by every scary LAPD and homeland sec stooge you could imagine. Years later he also got patted down while in a wheelchair trying to fly to Israel for experimental cancer treatment so maybe he just flagged as a threat. Back to lurking, thanks

Hahaha, why the gently caress would you think, "Imma take my grenade-shaped pocket rocket on an airplane"? The TSA will stop people carrying no-kidding high level DoD access credentials. They don't know or care who you are or what your story is if your set off the flashing lights on their machines.

Whenever I have had the pleasure of going through security screening I have always marvelled at the fact that America's first line of defence against terrorists consists of its most retarded citizens. Always feels safe knowing that I've got a slackjawed D+ student watching my back when I fly.

This is pretty old but still a good introductory read about Bruce Schneier, who shits all over the TSA pretty much always and talks a lot about security theater stuff: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2008/11/the-things-he-carried/307057/

The only time I was stopped by the TSA was when I was flying after a week spent doing demo training at FLW. Otherwise my white male privilege has been in full effect.

It doesn't have to be perfect, just a reasonable chance of ruining terror plan xyz, and they've done something. It's not perfect but meh. I'm waiting for a kid stuffed with explosives or old person in a light jihadi jacket to make it thru, it seems like the most logical answer to TSA measures. I guess as long as keep droning wedding parties we don't have to worry about that either, though.

Best part of airport security is the sham they go through with utility vehicles. I used to volunteer as an EMT and had the occasional transport to or from a plane on the tarmac. Security going through the ambulance, noting the entry tool and all the sharp implements, moving on. They sure could't take anything out. My favourite part was wheeling the patient on the metal gurney through the metal detector. Sure went beep, imagine that...

Which is exactly why, if you fly more than once a year, you get Global Entry to expedite coming back from abroad and get a Known Traveler Number. Then use your KTN to get TSA pre-check for domestic flights and get treated closer to a human instead of taking off shoes, belts, laptops, etc.

Years ago I thought I'd work for them as an easy job while I do some college work after I first EAS'd. They were so stupid, assbackwards, and belligerently idiotic that I re-enlisted because it was less aggravating. You know how Schmucaktellil or Joe are stupid? But you can usually beat them with the manual and they'll get the basic idea? TSA screeners will roll to disbelieve you like knowledge of their job is an illusion. Edit: More aggravating than friendly fire causing dipshits disguised as leadership.

Getting really sick of all this "Durr what's a gyrocopter? Here's a gyrocopter, here's another gyrocopter, here's a gyrocopter pilot, has anyone seen The Road Warrior or Beyond Thunderdom durrrrrrr". CNN just showed a flythrough using Google Earth imagery which might have been informative if they hadn't been banging on the same track for the last 24 hours. The story here is that he announced that he was going to do it a year ago, and no real attempt to stop him was made.

Pretty sure I drunkenly got a folding knife through security. I was late for a flight, about to deploy, and pretty buzzed. I was too late to check my bags so I did the the gate check thing and I think I had a spring assist folder in my bag. I didn't mean to but I remember when I got to my destination and dug through my bag and saw my knife I just thought "hmm, got lucky there"... and that was the moment I lost all faith in airport security. Either that or when my old incompetent former boss waved me through the metal detector. I've decided to leave old pairs of gloves back at my home of record and will fly with them to get them there, after handling C4, no issues. Gloves, which have been in direct contact with no bull poo poo explosive, with no follow up questions or that bullshit tag in the bag. If I fly with a striped AR-15 receiver in my luggage poo poo gets torn open by TSA but other things won't get a second look. I just wish I could get a job where I red team TSA all day and poo poo on all of their days, fight back for all the shoeless and beltless people who have been groped while getting paid.

IIRC TSA did do some red team stuff itself in 2003. They failed miserably. The actual red team report is secret, but gao references it in one of their reports. Gold stuff like "the objective is to test whether operators can use their detection machines, not whether they are actually effective".

I carried a gently caress load of pills through LAX travelling international twice and no one gave a poo poo about it. I dunno if they are suppose to care? It was seriously a lot of drugs in my carry on.

Lets see, I've made round trips with a box of slugs in my carry on (it was deer season), knives, lighters, and at least one trip pretty sure I had explosives residue on my clothes. None of those trips involved more than a smile as I passed through. Best TSA story was when I was flying through National a few years ago. Guy in front of me puts his carry on through the xray. Guy watching the screen moves it forward, then a supervisor that was walking by says "back that up". He then points to the screen and says "do you see that? thats a gun, you come over here."

The last time I flew back home from Charleston, SC (via Charlotte, NC, luggage was checked through to the final destination), I had 8 packs of Jack Link's beef jerky, half original, half Teriyaki. When I touched down and checked my luggage out in Frankfurt, there was a tag on it notifying me that it had been opened due to a random luggage check and that my lock had to be broken open because it wasn't TSA-spec. (it was, a loving number lock with that dumb TSA master key opening on the bottom, no less) 4 packs of my beef jerky were gone. Just the Teriyaki. gently caress the TSA.

Well, I'll just conclude that the best way to get poo poo onto planes that you are not supposed is just to walk it on. And I would've stolen your fuckin' teriyaki beef jerky as well, that poo poo is pretty good.

Flying to my first duty station, somebody stole a pair of pants and a multitool out of my duffel. The multitool was whatever, I've got like 1,000 more of those things, but those jeans were seriously the most comfy jeans I'd ever owned. I got them right after basic and they were stolen immediately after.

If your a drunkenly belligerently angry enough crazy vet you can get no-fly-listed except for 1) medical evacuation and 2) judicially ordered or 3) Non U.S. Origination and Destination flights (I.E. Not TSA screened). If you just choke one goddamn sky oval office suddenly when she tries to wake your cat napping rear end, in Obama's America, you are Rambo in alllllllll the wrong ways. That amped up Air Marshall doesn't give a gently caress if that's your EAS freedom beard or your downtown Raqqa Metro FastPASS: His use of force is getting escalated and your only scoring another TBI for the VA to ignore and spending some time that day getting your rear end in a top hat turned inside out for orifice searching. Don't choke your hostess, folks.  (As a Jew I always felt uncomfortable anytime Lufthansa took me to 30k feet, anyway. Something about krauts pushing kikes through the atmosphere in any way, particularly at cloud height, was uncomfortable in a very fundamental way, somehow.  )If we didn't have the TSA an entire economic class of black Americans in major metropolitan areas would disappear overnight in a flurry of rims rental stores and salon supply stores and pawn shops. Think about it. Atlanta would collapse. Literally. It'd be like planet of the apes meets walking dead meets soul plane.  Also this postal worker brouhaha is likely gonna force the Feds to start going full retard even on satire they find on the 'net. So uh, disclaimer: I'm not exactly white but I hate Muslims and love America. I love America with a passion that borders on the erotic. So what? So Muhammad's child raping false prophet rear end can suck my dick from the back because (real) God is gonna greet me as one of the original wedding crashers at the great all American Judea-christian Intel / Ops Sync VTC in the sky.

I can't remember if it was TSA or New York PD who I talked to, but I got called into their office when I flew from Germany to LaGuardia and had my busted rear end mags and buttstock in my checked luggage from when a sniper shot me in Baghdad. They were cool about it and wanted to hear what happened to me. At first it was 'oh poo poo undeclared firearms parts' but they calmed down once they knew I was a soldier.

Holy poo poo that article owns. And those dudes would've loving died if the cops hadn't tracked them down. The loving hand and face wounds,  Also, the TSA is staffed by people unqualified to become real cops or unwilling to go through the training. Think about that.
