CannonFodder posted:"will attack from existing nearby base" Remember, when Donald was first born 100 years ago and said that he wouldn't tell enemies when we would attack because that would ruin the element of surprise and we give terrorists too much information.

Yeah I'd need one hell of a verification before I believed "smuggle this through security so we can test our process" was real.

Inferior Third Season posted:Someone wanting to bring a gun on an airplane has always had about a 90% chance of success. This story has nothing to do with the staffing issue. The TSA is security theater that people who don’t know poo poo about security think works. I’m no expert, but while in line for screening I thought of a few different ways to get past their dumb poo poo and if my stupid rear end can do that, someone driven and determined will steamroll them.

mutata posted:I'm registered "Unaffiliated" and I voted a straight D ticket last November. I get the vibe that "Independent" is for people on some extreme or the other who still want a tribe to feel like they belong to. Please consider tactically registering Dem if your state has closed primaries, for one crucial reason: registered dems get to vote in primaries. Help drag the party kicking and screaming to the left by setting the ballot. Abner Assington posted:Be prepared to die in an airplane, I reckon. Doing nothing would be statistically comparable to failing their own internal inspections constantly as the TSA does now. Multiple handguns make it onto planes yearly despite the security theatre because their methods are flatly not effective, nor were they designed to be.

CelestialScribe posted:What's the suggested alternative to TSA? For all that it seems like it's been around forever, the TSA is only 17 years old, and it's only trivially more effective than the private firms that did the job beforehand despite all the effort they go to to make it LOOK effective. A return to privately-run airport security would be more cost-effective to both the taxpayer and the passenger, would substantially improve the airport experience, and wouldn't have an appreciable cost in actual security, IIRC.

I don't know statistics, but with the upgraded doors to the cockpit the chances of plane takeovers are pretty small I'd imagine. Realistically, if someone wanted to blow up a bunch of people with a bomb, they could just go to the airport at a busy time and catch the big group of people bunched up at the security checkpoint.

Are people legitimately suggesting no security before they get onto an airplane, or are they just being stupid?

I don’t agree with making airport security private but I do think airport security should be massively scaled back. It’s security theater, it doesn’t make us safer.

CelestialScribe posted:Are people legitimately suggesting no security before they get onto an airplane, or are they just being stupid? They're pointing out that there was very little real security, and the TSA didn't do much to improve that situation. That, and most of the things you might do to "improve" security are designed to placate you, take your money, and harass people you dislike in varying proportions without necessarily making anyone safer.
