Well HERE'S the Problem...

If he'd have stuffed it in his undies, they'd have found it no problem. [Read]

Hey, maybe that could be a new requirement...

Uh-oh, Muslim name. Don't look to closely, might offend him.

So, let me get this straight...

Since they missed something in a bag, it's necessary to virtually strip-search or sexually-assault every passenger?

Clearly all the terrorists need to do is to send 2 people through, and tell them to leave their stuff in the bag. Even if one gets caught, the odds almost guarantee the other won't.

Morons.

What more proof could anyone need that this isn't about BEING safe, but about FEELING safe?

IOW, it's not security, it's security THEATER.

Conditioning people that threats are STILL getting through, and we need to turn UP the resolution on the scanners and hire more TSA drones. I wouldn't be surprised if they had this "miss" deliberately so they could scare us a little more. Trains and buses, and subways, y'all. And theaters and malls and churches and anywhere three or more people might catch a bullet or shrapnel, and to hell with the right to travel and free association. The people who make the laws are in bed with the people who make the equipment.

I've said this before, but the TSA missed a boot knife with a 6" blade I'd accidentally left in my carry-on bag, the same bag and knife I took while leaving the USA on an international jetliner, loaded with jet fuel, at the end of 2001.

They sucked then, they suck worse now, and are still just as unConstitutional.
