Talk Of Moving TSA Checkpoints Outside

CBS DFW ^ | June 29, 2016 | Andrea Lucia

[C19fan]

Show your ID, take off your shoes, hand over the carry-on and maybe, just maybe, get a pat-down!

TSA checkpoints are a hassle travelers have come to accept, but new layers of security could further test your patience.

[C19fan]

Just move the crowd from the TSA line inside the terminal to outside. Sill going to cause a large backup that is a perfect sitting duck for Muslim terrorists.

[dirtboy]

Yeah, but it’s a lot easier to hose off blood on a sidewalk than to mop it up from the tile floor inside. /sarcasm, I think...

[Pecos]

Then they will just have to do drive-bys.

[relictele]

FTA: ‘unlikely to become a reality.’

...strictly because the TSA agents are a load of soft, lazy plonkers who cycle in and out of their posts more often than blackjack dealers in Las Vegas.

A break here, a lunch there.

Standing outside would mean no air conditioning and no bathroom nearby. Union says no.

[L,TOWM]

Yeah, that’ll go over really well at DFW when its 100 degrees with 50% humidity during the summer...

[sheana]

Nope. Not sarcasm.

[Zeneta]

Why can’t they just post a sign that reads “Gun and Bomb Free zone”?

[Mr. K]

Instead of spending $Trillions on mostly useless security (frisking grandmothers and cavity searching little girls) how about we go around the world and KICK ROYAL ASS of every single country that is remotely related to terrorism.

And we keep doing it until their leaders figure out they can save themselves a crapload of grief if they put a stop to it themselvesUnless they want us to pound them into dirt.

[Dagnabitt]

How about we move the checkpoints to the border and visa offices and stop importing more Muslims and the terrorism that ALWAYS comes with them.

Islamic terrorism is optional. Western countries choose to have it through their immigration choices.

Poland does not have it. Hungary does not have it. Estonia does not have it. Japan does not have it. Korea does not have it.

Just say no to Islamic-Immigration Terrorism.

[Scrambler Bob]

Plant the TSA just outside the door to your house, to check you upon exit.

Oh, Oh, better plan ... House the TSA INSIDE everyone’s house.

For more security, you know.

I'm pretty sure Israel has two checks before you get into a building. The first is when you drive into the airport. The second is when you approach the building. And I would guess there are more than a few monitored security cameras in these pre-TSA-type security areas. (And the analogy with the TSA is not really good, but I couldn't think of something else.) It's be since last October that I was there and I really don't pay too much attention to the security (and they don't pay too much attention to me) so I might not have it exactly right but in Tel Aviv you don't get to crowds of people without attention from their security folks.

Re-named HOTSA
“Hundreds of Thousands Standing Around”

[rigelkentaurus]

Another brilliant idea!!! That way, the TSA gains the right to search vehicles too. And people not flying. And think, they would be just like Stasi checkpoints! Mirrors on wheels to look under cars and everything.

Then think about the backups it would cause, and the extra staffing required. You would be doing 3x the searches when you include passengers of vehicles not flying and the cars - under the hoods, in the trunks. Think of all the contraband they would collect too.

Of course, this will not do anything to stop terrorism. The only thing that will stop terrorism is a mooselimb ban. Leftist are currently fellow travelers with mooselimbs so that is completely off the table.

[NonValueAdded]

yes, move them to the country’s borders.

[Slings and Arrows]

And the winner of the How Can We Make Flying Even More Miserable contest is...

[AZLiberty]

Lining up for TSA in Phoenix heat? Only golfer Bill Clinton could handle that.

[DesertRhino]

That just means the attack will happen at THAT bottleneck outside the entrance in the rain or baking sun. Damned idiots. They’ll still be feeling up white 80 year old grandmas.

But I suppose there would be less drywall to repair inside.

[unixfox]

More jobs available for government parasites! Yippee!!!!

[Uncle Miltie]

Inefficient government causes crowds.

No matter where you put the bureaucratic idiots.

[Don Corleone]

Going to be really popular in the winter snow, rain, freezing rain, wind. Yup! Really popular. These morons have to be replaced. Vote TRUMP!
