so some young man from san diego is getting his 15minutes of fame for not being x-rayed or groped by the tsa the other day. maybe it will be the event that causes americans to rebel against an idiotic system that while it provides some security; is so inefficient and fallible as to be an incredible burden on the american economy and therefore a victory for terrorism.
i travel alot. the process is maddening. you are confronted with a see of people in blue uniforms processing people so slowly and ineptly.... and they are incompetant. janet napolitano in defending genital massage said that we need to make sure that gels and liquids are not getting thru. well the other day, i sent my hand luggage thru and it contained an 8 oz. tube of hair gel, yes i know, hair gel, the secret is out, and it went thru without a hiccup. i was not trying to beat the system; i forgot. so it is all bull shit.
so what should we do. we need security. here are a few ideas.
we are looking for needles in haystacks; it is asymetrical; lets get rid of some of the hay thru trusted traveler programs. have travelers, if they want, volunteer to give the govt. alot of info plus fingerprints and retina scans and have an enhanced passporst and lets process these people fast.
lets use some of the israeli methods of profiling, verbal and facial and body language assessment.
we need better high tech scanner and sniffers in our ports and commercial package shipping infrastructure.
lets not allow the tsa to unionize.
more ideas solicited from you all, but this system is stupid.
