Lucky I showed up 4 hours early. no, it's run by people who know that security theater is important for keeping idiots from freaking out and whats this coward stuff? lol

I had a family member who had a security clearance back in the early 90's when he worked for a government contractor. When the job was done they all lost that clearance since it was just for that job and time period. A decade and a half later, all the computer shows is that he had a security clearance then he "lost" it, which is a huge red flag. Well that's my TSA gently caress up story thanks for playing.

"give me liberty or give me death". Americans are supposed to be such hardcore freedom lovers that death is preferable to putting up with bullshit. We all know that's a lie of course. Americans put infinite value on human life, which isn't practical. Is the security theater worth it to save 1 person a year? What about 100 or 1000? In a country of 400 million losing a few hundred a year to terrorism should not be a big deal.

Wiretaps probably, I don't know. If we knew then it would be probably be easier to blow up one of those lines. Really it must be a miracle that nobody shot up an airport yet, seems like such an easy target.

some people just recently detonated bombs near check-in counters and a starbucks. they didn''t even need to reach the security line for mass carnage. at istanbul-ataturk, you have to get screened as soon as you enter the airport, and then again after check-in.

you could fit a really big explosive device inside a piece of rolling carry-on luggage like big enough to loving vaporize the whole security line I'm pretty sure but take your shoes and belt off, assume the position in the scanner thingy that I'm sure some legislator-connected business makes and let me make sure that screwdriver isn't over 5 inches there ultimately we rely a lot on people just sorta not getting too murdery as a societal construct; think of it what you will

I find the magnitude and consistency of TSA's failure pretty amusing. Remember when DHS tested them and they had a 95% failure rate, and the TSA director got all butthurt because it wasn't fair that DHS already knew security procedures and how to beat them. Mmmm good stuff. I can't wait for the increased coverage of their total ineptitude this summer!

Looks like I'm going to be roped into a 1.5 hour meeting next Tuesday in Connecticut where I'll have to leave my house at 3:00AM, take two flights, land at 9:30AM, drive for an hour, wait 4 hours, speak bullshit, drive an hour back to the airport, take two flights and get home at midnight. The only thing that could make that worse is missing flights because TSA hires high school dropouts and there's not enough of them that can remember the phrase "remove all items from your pockets"

I've lately just completely given in to the fact that flying just sucks rear end parking expensive? parking tram not working so you've gotta wait for the backup shuttle? long security line? everyone takes 2 years to throw their poo poo on the plane? Tiny-rear end seats apparently designed for people the size of pixies? take 20 minutes taxi-ing to gate? crying baby next to you on plane? can't drink because you've actually gotta do poo poo when you get there? who cares none of this is a surprise; in fact if the experience is not in some way alike to sitting on a red-hot railroad spike then you should be worried because the plane is probably going to crash to even things out

To be fair, that administrator got canned, his staff was investigated by a congressional panel for incompetence and fraud and put a nice spotlight on all the rotten parts. The new administrator got the job and immediately stopped programs that weren't working (a lot of them) and has been applauded by both sides of the aisle. But yeah, lines this summer are going to be insane for basically everyone. Their budget keeps getting smaller and allocated improperly. Once people get stuck all day in a line, I hope they write their representative and demand change.

I think one time a tsa agent shot another agent because he went through the naked scanner for a training thing and afterwards everyone started calling him baby dick because they could see he had a baby dick Enjoy your flight guys!
