Pat myself down, go through scanner hard.
You are misusing statistics. That is why I keep objecting to your posts. I'm not going to argue this any further, it's minute at this point.Turquoise wrote:
How many times do I have to post it? Statistically, it will happen again -- it's very unlikely for something like 9/11 to occur again, but hijackings occur at a fairly periodic rate. Considering the number of flights that occur annually and the variance in quality of security by airport, it's inevitable that more hijackings will occur.SenorToenails wrote:
Turquoise, you use that 'it will happen again' reasoning as though it justifies something. You can't prove there won't be another attack...so that does not imply that there will be one. This is obviously faulty reasoning.Turquoise wrote:
It's not bullshit. Shit happens. All that matters is how you react to it. I'm not really sure why we're arguing when we both agree that the TSA is overkill.

Here's another look at TSA policies...
Polls have found a majority of Americans support the scans, though they aren't as supportive of the TSA pat downs.
A CBS News survey showed 81 percent of people polled approve of the use of full-body X-ray machines. A Washington Post/ABC News survey found 64 percent of people supported the use of the machines, while 32 percent were opposed. When it comes to the use of pat downs, respondents were practically split down the middle. However, 37 percent of all Americans said they "feel strongly" that the pat downs are overly intrusive. Still 70 percent of Americans questioned in the Washington Post/ABC News poll said the new TSA rules made no difference in their decision to fly.
As I've mentioned before, I'm no fan of the policies, but there does seem to be an unmistakable amount of hysteria being generated by the media about them. Ironically, the media was also part of the hysteria that helped create these policies after 9/11.

nobody i know cares and we use them more than most people
Nor should it. It takes up 10 minutes of your fucking time. 10 minutes out of the most likely half an hour+ you're going to be waiting anyways for your flight to come in.Turquoise wrote:

Very true. It puts screening somewhat in perspective.Poseidon wrote:

And notice these new screening procedures were just recently implemented. That usually doesn't happen on a whim...and the pat downs aren't due to toner cartridges. My guess is TSA (and others) are acting on specific intel coming out of arrests following round-ups of the toner cartridge group.

Here is some perspectives. Less than 2% of fliers are pat down. You'd never know that by the amount of media generated around this.Turquoise wrote:

Chertoff (sp) was was the ex secretary of homeland security. He is now the head of the consulting company that has set the scanners up to be put in every airport. You can draw a near perfect line from fear to money bags.tuckergustav wrote:

Fuck Israel
Americans in general have a natural distrust in the government. It's evident throughout our entire history.

Just send out more Predator drones, maybe invade Pakistan, then you can dial airport security back to zero. Its win-win.

The two are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Obama is not the only one who doesn't let a good crisis go to waste...tuckergustav wrote:

Well, yeah, that's basically the same line that can be drawn for the War on Terror in general.Kmar wrote:

Always worth pointing out.

Of course, it may be inconvenient to point out that they are doing those more intrusive pat downs at ALL airports...even those that don't have scanners.Turquoise wrote:

Well, I was referring more to war profiteering. Granted, I'm not saying the War on Terror is without legitimacy. It's just that war has always been extremely profitable for certain people.FEOS wrote:
