Glad to see the hometown team is getting the job done to "keep us safe". I'm sure dozens will now be fired. Nahhhhhhh.....2 hours additional training and move on.

Well, in their defense, they've only had 15+ years to get this right.

Maybe they ought to find a different way to protect us.

Like one the truly works.

I have to believe only one of two things has prevented US airliners from being lost to terrorists in the last 15 years.


1. The terrorists are WAY, WAY less clever than we give them credit for.

2. There are FAR, FAR fewer motivated terrorists in the world than the security industry would like us to believe.

The TSA sure as heck isn't the reason.

Sorry, but Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta is the international airport in Atlanta, Ga. Also known as ATL.

every problem that has happened aboard an aircraft has been solved by the passengers

we could cut the TSA staff by 99.9% and get the same results we get now

To be fair, TSA did catch my wife and I a few years ago trying to smuggle a couple of breakfast bagels (one jalapeno and one sesame seed) onto a plane very early one morning. We went through the X-ray, then wand, then pat-down, wife was swabbed for nitrates. Then over to the side to fess up and identify the contraband. After questioning they let us, and the bagels, get on the plane. Smile

A few weeks ago on the way back from Alaska they went through my luggage, and decided to keep a few items for their trouble.

My wife would always travel with a TSA approved lock on her luggage, so they could take it off to inspect without cutting it. Didn't matter, they cut the thing every time anyway. Now she merely puts zip ties on her luggage, when she sees the zip tie missing, she knows things will be messed up inside (happened again last week). She never puts anything in checked baggage that is worth stealing.

I always leave a few things in my checked baggage for the TSA - in plastic baggies that I throw away if they make it to their destination - because there is no way in hell I would touch them. Big Grin
