A GREAT article on the TSA and how they are BS

[bob2the2nd]

i guess ill be the asshole that while i dont like pyro at all, and didnt even bother to read the article. this TSA shit has to get better. i go on travel 8-10 weeks a year (yeah not a lot), but someone needs to get their damn ducks in a row. i spent 30 minutes last friday morning in line at the el paso airport trying to get through security. you want to know why? because the agents hadnt been trained on the equipment they were using yet, you know how i found that out? because they apologized to every single person that morning. absolutely, fucking, brilliant. so not only hadnt they been trained, but they were telling everyone there that fact.

there are security measures out there right now in the private sector that should all by eliminate the need to do almost everything you do when you go through security. my company has a device that you can place ANY liquid, in any container into it and it will tell you what it is, and i saw this damn device 2 years ago. so i ask you why isnt it being used? why should going through security be this big ordeal? how difficult can it possible be to have a 20 foot all long 'hallway' that on the left you put your crap onto a belt that scans it (x-ray, sniffer, etc), and then you get on a moving sidewalk thing and you go through your own sniffer, metal detector. it isnt that difficult. the TSA is there to give the illusion of safety, and thats pretty much it.

The Joke Called X is the only person who hates me here.

sure, nobody probably hates you, we just think you're fucking annoying

 

[Pyro]

Fair enough. Is it wrong I express my ideals the way I do?

But Corey can't bring his water in.

Shut up about the damn water. You can buy water after you get through security. Not that it matters because you don't fly anyway. And why do you act like you are making the decision to not fly? Youre like, 14. If your mom said you were going somewhere on a plane, I doubt you would be like "NO WAY THE TSA IS BULL MOM". Either that or your parents are feeding you this BS and you have every opinion they do.

Yes, at times. Your performance in the Chardon thread was exceptionally lame.
Timing and delivery, young Jedi.

This is clearly a farce. Nobody would be stupid enough to bring that stuff in. I mean, a bullet belt? Really? LOL.

That would be at the B concourse security checkpoint at Hopkins. If you ever go there you can see it.

Yeah, don't want anyone being served to death.

So is that supposed to be all the stuff that the TSA has confiscated at Hopkins?

If so, I call BS.
