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.
