Wow, so glad I don't fly much

Because airport security screening is about to get much more invasive. :lol:

lol, ill just assume its some sorta exageration coming from faux news.

I can see it now, “We just have to cut you open a little bit. ITS FOR YOUR SAFETY DAMMIT!!!”

Haha before I saw your comment I was just thinking to myself, “CONSIDER THE SOURCE.”

ehhhhhhhh

they already have things that take full x-rays of people i would think those would see anything inside people… i always get picked to go through those when i fly on my own. dont know why a 21 year old kid looks suspicious must think im trying to sneak drugs on the plane

Someone, somewhere, just makes this shit up. “Hmm, let me think. Drug dealers shove drugs up their ass, I bet a terrorist could shove a bomb up his ass. Yeah! OK, now to write it up as ‘secret intelligence’ from an unknown source.” I don’t know if it’s the white house, or faux news, or somewhere in between. Be afraid. Be very afraid!

I have said it once and over again. I don’t mind the general metal detectors as its a simple protection like locking your doors at night. Some general person trying to break in may be stopped but someone determined it obviously wont. Since 9/11, defense spending has been higher than ever and now that all these private companies and contractors are funded so much by government contracts, they will never just take them our or stop the wars as every politician is connected to some business and getting kickbacks.

Fear causes people to freak out and the more they think there is an actual threat at every corner of their lives, the more open they will be to government spending to provide a false sense of security for them.

I vote all that BS get taken away until the TSA actually proves that they provide a purpose but it seems the facts are supporting that the TSA provides no value except to be a show that people are more secure.

Until 2001, far fewer Americans were killed in any grouping of years by all forms of international terrorism than were killed by lightning, and almost none of those terrorist deaths occurred within the United States itself. Even with the September 11 attacks included in the count, the number of Americans killed by international terrorism since the late 1960s (which is when the State Department began counting) is about the same as the number of Americans killed over the same period by lightning, accident-causing deer, or severe allergic reaction to peanuts.

How long until Total Recall becomes reality? They should just do this and be done with it fuck.

Well that would be a shitty terrorist attack…

Well, I get hassled sometimes. I’m diabetic and wear an insulin pump which has a tube that connects to my body to an infusion set. I’ve had them tug and pull at it before, now I just disconnect it and put it in the tray thing. Usually not an issue, but sometime you get a cocksucker who’s got to be a dick about it and I got to go through a bunch of shit.

COME ON!!!

Flying sucks so much now, and I have to fly like once per week…

Speaking of defense spending, 9-11, etc: remember Rumsfeld on 9-10-2001? No, of course not because there was the biggest distraction ever the next day. He announced that there was 2.3 trillion dollars of defense contractor money was “missing”. Huh, weird that everyone seemed to forget about it.

It’s a lot less spooky conspiracy when you read THE ENTIRE STATEMENT from Rumsfeld in the proper context. But since when have conspiracy nuts ever read an entire statement or anything in it’s full context.

Didn’t another billion or so go missing again in the middle east?
