The TSAs procedures invite attacks. There are typically long lines of people waiting to go through the cumbersome TSA screening. A terrorist could easily detonate a bomb or start shooting with a concealed weapon even before getting to the screening and kill hundreds. The most real security personnel I have seen in the screening area is a lone police officer and the TSA bumblers are unarmed (thankfully) and likely totally unprepared for such an attack.

In 1972, before Israel implemented its new security procedures, there was such such an attack at Lod (Now Ben Gurion) airport. Three Japanese Red Army terrorists opened fire and massacred 26 people and injured 80 others.

While I wholeheartedly advocate the Israeli security method, I wonder if it could be implemented with the crush of travelers at an airport such as O’Hare, Hartsfield, Kennedy.

Absolutely YES. Their system creates less delay than the pseudo-crap we do now.

Yeah, seriously. If anyone knows actual Nazi tactics well, it’s Soros.

Actually, it isn’t ‘racial’ profiling but ‘religious’ profiling we need to implement.

Since the 1960s, 98% of all terrorist actions have involved men between the ages of 16 to 50 years old — all of them Muslim.

TSA employees have nowhere near the IQ to establish an Israeli security system. Heck the brain power of the US government has created security where they have muslims molesting nuns at the gate and perverts sticking their hands in the croches of children. Our government workers are too stupid to have any power over anyone or anything.

This will show if ( and I believe it is) our gub'ment is just verbalizing how they love Israel but in reality they hate EVERYTHING Israeli, no TROPHY system, no belief Saddam's WMD's were shipped( trucked and flown) to Syria in the Food For Oil con/scam when Hans Blix was playing "Ring around the Rosey" with Saddam's cronies, and in 2010 still pridefully playing the "land for peace' and BS" Right to return" when IT DOESN'T WORK!

no like pharoah, Sennacharib, Nebuchadnezzar( ate like a vegan for seven years after not listening), Jerico, so goeth our prideful gub'ment refusing to even acknowledge hay, then joooo's have a good idea but we might make the religion of peace angry, better give all Americans the heavy duty Frotterist dream employment as an airline hand jobber for all American's instead of just PROFILING the scum.

Yeah, it's madness, but so was Pharoah, and other kings9 Obama has delusions of such whilst apologizing to every muzzie he meets, even in INDIA of all enemies of muslims. What will be the straw that breaks the camels back? When will Obama and cronies actually take into consideration Israel is our ally and we the people love thier incredible chutzpah?

I haven't boarded an aircraft in 6 years. And do not intend to until the customers are treated with respect, and security problems are addressed intelligently. This TSA stuff is a hokum sideshow. "Did you pack your own luggage?"

Funny event, last flight I was coming back from Ireland, and had to go through customs. (Actually two, I got pulled over for some suspicious things they spied in my luggage - glass chess pieces, the agent thought I was smuggling booze, ha!). But...

I had an odd incident while driving on a back road through farmlands in the evening - a lamb was on the side of the road trying to get back through a fence running along the road. My passengers urged me to pull the car over and rescue the lamb, and return it to its baaing mom on the other side of the fence. I spied an opening under the wire fence a few yards away from where the lamb was stranded; I struggled with the beast and managed to move it back to the breach, and released it to dash back to the field. This took place a few days before my trip back to the US. (No thought of the BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) or FAM (foot and mouth) problem occurred to me at the time.)

One of the questions at customs was "did you walk over a sheep or cow field or handle livestock", or something like that. I professed that I had done such. They pulled me over for special treatment - which consisted of spraying my shoes for a minute or so (while they were still on my feet, lol).

No questions as to whether or not I was wearing the same shoes during the incident (I wasn't). No further information, tests or questioning - that was it. Huh?

Strange, I never thought about such questions being asked. Last time I flew it was in an emergency situation where I ran into the airport, told them I had an emergency and needed to get t Memphis immediately. They had me on a plane, no questions asked with 30 minutes. That tells you how long ago that was.
