SNIP "Nah, it's a big trunk, I'm pretty sure she's still alive. You have a good day, Officer."...
ROFL!!!
OK, this one goes in the Hall of Fame!

SNIP What they need is a really good PR campaign explaining that they know all the stuff they have done up to this point has been worthless and annoying and that they are now going to try to do the one thing that has a history of actually working.
SNIP complete with 57 layers of bureaucrats and four bottemless wells of wasteful spending.
One could just pretend they only speak Swahili. ;DI would pretend to be a deaf mute and make them write the questions out, and then write the answers with a bit of confusion tossed in for good measure. :lol:
Coming from you, I'd expect better. Check your facts. There are now 59 layers of bureaucrats, 7 bottomless wells and 14 new paper-pushers.
In a world of ever-increasing government interference, TSA agents will soon be asking where you are going and why? None of their business, I say.
Story from USA Today
While I understand why we (yes, I include myself in this) are upset with the intrusive questioning, it actually has a better chance of identifying an actual terrorist bent on causing harm to the airplane and the people presently waiting to fly inside that airplane. El Al has been using this style of pre-flight checking to catch bombers and other nutjobs instead of pornoscopes and probulating passengers. And they have actually caught them before they got on the plane and scattered the passengers and luggage all over the landscape from 35AGL.
TSA is going to be behind the 8-ball forever due to their utter failure to accomplish anything except annoying and inconveniencing passengers for years. What they need is a really good PR campaign explaining that they know all the stuff they have done up to this point has been worthless and annoying and that they are now going to try to do the one thing that has a history of actually working. Seeing as how that's still going to come across as "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you" they will have a real hard time selling it. But the first time they surround some swarthy-complected dude wearing too much clothing and who seems to be about 3 sizes bigger above the waist than below, who has been looking around like a cat on rollerskates in a rockingchair marathon and sweating bullets every time anybody looks at them, then we all might start accepting this new program.
stay safe.
What TSA is not doing is what the Israelis do and focus on those most likely to be terrorist, i.e. male Muslims aged 18-45. Without doing this, anything TSA does is a waste of time.
In my opinion, a male Muslim shouldn't get on an American airplane without a 24 hour notice, full background investigation, fingerprinting, DNA sample and retinal scan.
I agree, I don't want to see such measures taken.
I also do not believe in the great ever present threat of terrorism. Is there a chance of terrorist action? Yes, and there always will be. Is the threat so dangerous that it requires the amount of security currently in place? Absolutely not.

And federal security acting with police powers including qualified immunity protecting private property...
Crap like this is why I refuse to fly. If a car can't take me there. I must not need to go there.
Appreciate your humor but it is NOT a "colonscupy" but rather a "colostomy"! LOLWhere are you headed sir?
Hi, I have a testicular implant, do you think it will be a problem going through security?
I do not know sir, you'll have to ask once you get up to security. Where and for what purpose are your travels.
But, if my new testical is going to be a problem, I'd like to know now
Ok ok, just go up to security
Officer, I have a testicular implant and I don't think it can go through that scanner
In that case, we will need to pat you do and inspect your lugauge.
I warn you, since my new testical is on the right, we may need to remove my colonoscupy bag next to it. Sorry it's full, I didn't get a chance earlier.
Fortunately they shouldn't know the difference.Appreciate your humor but it is NOT a "colonscupy" but rather a "colostomy"! LOL
