I don't know if anyone else has picked up on this recently, but on other websites I frequent, particularly Reddit, there's a lot of posting going on complaining about the TSA's searching procedures. I'm curious about how BF2s feels about it. On the one hand it seems unnecessary, invasive and ineffective, but on the other hand I just wonder if people are making too much fuss about nothing. I get the whole slippery slope/denial of rights etc, but are people right to be kicking up a fuss about this? Should they just get on with their lives and not worry about the TSA getting a brief glimpse of your cock?

That was posted recently on Reddit, from a guy who was subjected to the TSA's search and refused. It's fairly interesting, the transcript is much better than the video.

haha good one
at least somebody is fighting the formation of a police state.

The US economy is a giant Ponzi scheme. And 'to big to fail' is code speak for 'niahnahniahniahnah 99 percenters'

There's the business of TSA approved locks, and that generally the TSA employ untrained monkeys who have no clue about the law.
At least thats what I hear from the shooting community who have to fly with guns and ammunition.

OTOH The guy was a twat going to an airport looking for trouble, which he obviously was. I'm pretty sure videoing the secure area is an offence by itself.

If you object to being scanned or patted down then take the bus or shut up.

Spot-on, I believe you only need a high school diploma (probably even less) and I don't think they're even sworn officers like a police officer is.

Not even. Theyre all subcontractors making minimum wage. Qualifications include having a pulse.

I don't get it, the US is spending trillions on two wars and still hasn't got around to upgrading airline security to the point of hiring competent staff?

That makes ... sense.
Why not just do the job properly?

I've come to the conclusion the US should outsource its entire government to an Israeli company.
Can the Israelis manage airline security?
If Bin Laden had attacked Israel would they have failed to capture him or invaded two unrelated countries?

Just stop having elections, it seems to be a waste of time.

Real security would require Israeli style security amd noone wants that.

People need to make up their mind if they want another 9/11 or if they want to bitch about being patted down.

People would rather have another 9/11. Especially since we know another wont occur.

Why won't it occur? As soon as the West withdraws from the ME the loonies will be gung-ho for another one.

I don't think the TSA would be able to budget or even find people with more qualification.

Right, but they've already blown their wad using jets. People are too suspicious now to allow an attack like that to happen again. They'll have to move on to something else. Like I said, the TSA is simply there to make people feel safer while traveling. The real defense against a future attack is our intelligence services and the vigilance of our citizens, not some windowlicker rent a cop.

One of the girls I was in the army with works for the TSA now at their headquarters outside of DC. She said they have a minimum of people on staff and the rest are subcontracted out to the lowest bidder. They must have some EO shit going on too because I swear 90% of the TSA personnel I've come across are angry black people

They'll have to move on to something else.

Which is what they'll do.

Just take U$50bn out of the defence budget and give it to the TSA, train up some people, its not too hard.

Better off just retraining some MPs Would have the same results.
