Iif terrorists were actually that big of a threat they would simply blow up the massive security line out in front of security.
Of course. How do you think it worked before Dubya’s jobs program went into effect?
Security funding is just art funding filtered through fear.
DON'T SAY BOMB!
I hate the TSA, and I strongly suspect they are largely a mirage, but I don't agree that this indicates they are admitting it's a mirage. It's almost never the purpose of any kind of inspection to have 100% coverage, just to shift the balance of probabilities as far as necessary until it's a deterrent. They could be shrugging and giving up in the face of a large number of people to process, but they could also just be making a well-informed trade-off.
The handful of times I have flown in the past two years, all the airports I've been at no longer require you to take out electronics or your toiletries bag.
In theory that means they have newer scanners.
I say in theory because for sanity's sake I hope that's the case, but I also know how they've historically worked thanks to the likes of Bruce Schneier.
ITT people don’t remember the joke that was security beforehand.
Maybe we’d like to go back to the good old days though.
A few more hijackings and Lockerbies are worth cheapening up security.
