New Movie...

I always wondered about this, but then again, my frequent flying days are behind me...

I know this looks like a hit piece, and is probably designed to discredit the previous administration, but to me (the premise of the film) it ties up some loose ends that have bothered me for years...

It looks interesting. I'd like to see it. Thanks for posting stevie_d!

The TSA... what a joke :(

I spent a little over three years in TSA and am firmly convinced that they are a deterrant, but not very much of one, and not worth the amount of money spent.

Yes there have been two failed terrorist attacks THAT WE KNOW ABOUT, but I am willing to bet that there are others that failed that neither we nor TSA know about. There is no way for me to know that the young lady who appeared to be of eastern descent to me, whose carry on bag contained an unlabeled jar of an unidentified clear liquid, which we refused to allow on the flight, was NOT part of a group which, once on the flight, would have assembled the binary explosive and taken down the plane. No way for anyone else to know either, she was allowed to take the bag and check it and flew without it in her carry on.

There is no way to know all of the probes and tests done by the terrorists that have taken place and this is nothing more than a training exercise for them, they try something, it doesn't work, they try something else, it doesn't work, until they find something that works, and in two cases almost. One plane would have gone down if it hadn't been for perspiration, the other if the explosive had been mixed properly, and in both cases it WASN'T pure luck that they figured out what the (current) best way to sneak the bomb through was, it was research.

Is it really paranoia if they ARE out to get you?

Texan Sam Dodson, of OTN News, examines "security theater" in Detroit (three parts so far, with a fourth still being edited):

He did push some buttons, but the important part is that TSA focused on their buttons, not whether there was an actual threat.

TSA Logo Contest

Ohhh, and BTW you do know I didn't post this to slight your service in this organization...

If anything we can learn some things not to do when and if we fly again, to make everyones job easier...As much as I like my privacy, I will not do something to draw attention to myself, because I know who I am...I want those watching to see those that ARE a potential problem...

No slight taken, if anyone is critical of them, it is me.

I guess my submission for the logo didn't make it.



Under the logo, it says, in Latin "The floggings will continue until morale improves."

See, this is why we need to make English the official language of this state and nation...Latin is just too...too...foreign...Yeah, thats the ticket!

(for the uninitiated, that is called sarcasm, and I am full of it, and other things as well)
