/\ agreed. the luggage already gets scanned and cleared pretty thouroughly. As far as individuals go, I saw we need more explosive sniffing dogs randomly going thru the airport w/their handlers. Have them walk up and down past the line of folks waiting to go thru the metal detectors. that dog if well trained, will be infinitely better at alerting to a threat than an xray machine manned by imbeciles.
I am totally against all these new security rules. There's a balance between freedom and security. We're way too far on the wrong end of the spectrum at this point.
Short of sneaking a big ol suicide vest onto a plane, what hte hell is one or a few terrorists with box cutters or knives, or even a gun going to to? there's a whole flight full of people, can't cut, shoot or kill everyone. Plus odds are an air marshal is on the flight too. Quite being sheeple, if some bastard gets up on a flight and yells alahua akbar, and starts waving a weapon, the guy next to him needs to just kill the mohterfucker. Too long the citizens of this country have taken their "rights and freedoms" for granted, it's time more folks take responsibility for the priviledge that being an american is and step up and defend it vs. waiting for someone else (ie. in this case the TSA) to do it for us.
PS--I think this country is doomed however and it makes me very sad...
We are rotting from the inside out and most people can't even see it, or choose to bury their head in the sand.
