USMCFLYR Btw - MISSION CREEP! Just like in the other case recently discussed on the forum. No no no no, I dont think they are the law. He asked "who do THEY think they are". They think they are the law. I think, well you dont want to know what I think about them. |

Another example of just who and what we're dealing with:
The Things He Carried - The Atlantic (November 2008) No system will ever be perfect, and I agree that the TSA fiasco is so far from even being normal, that it should probably be scrapped in favor of something else.... however, articles like the one in your link do nothing but teach the would be idiots how to defeat what little "security" there is. Yep, it "exposes" a problem.... but was there any doubt the "problem" existed in the first place; NO. So why write an article that details exactly how to get past security... it doesn't change anybody's mind about what is, or isn't wrong with TSA... it just highlights a few good methods to get things past them. The article is of no use to anybody except a criminal. |

Probably the same things as I.....but I'm glad that I did misread your post (though honestly I figured that was what you meant :))

Personally, I liked their uniforms before; they looked more professional.... now they look ridiculous. |
