I've noticed a pattern with airport security which could be quite dangerous.

Any person who say's anything which triggers the focus of screeners/security seems to create a signifigant diversion. I've seen this several times.

They treat that screening area like a gateway and have an inability to do much outside that geographic area. This is proven when a screener gets troubled about something and shuts down an entire terminal because one person got thru and the screeners can't leave their posts to follow up on the passenger.

I saw an old lady in a bad mood draw the eyes and ears of every TSA worker in a steadily paced manner. They all stopped looking elsewhere.

I've seen or heard of no plain clothes or undercover security folk dispersed with regular passengers inside the terminal after that checkpoint.

Klayman's cat, or a simply staged diversion, maybe three deep seems to be a real weakness in the process.

One thing that Al Kamen got wrong: The rule about never joking about hijacking or explosives preceded the TSA.

What do you suppose they would have done with Schroedinger's Cat?

Are you accusing Larry Klayman's cat of being part of an international terrorist conspiracy?

You're right about something like this creating a diversion. Since terrorists usually work in teams, one could "joke" about "hey, it's not like I have a bomb or something in there". TSA would swoop on him and then the real terrorist might be a few people back in line waiting to go through while the flock is feeding on the decoy.
