I once saw some former TSA bigwheel on tv say that this screening hell we are subjected to does not improve safety, and actually, these procedures were designed only to make us FEEL SAFE.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I don’t feel safe. More like annoyed.
I was randomly selected for the swipe test last week, and apparently tested positive for explosives.
Apparently it was my “beauty aids” in TSA speak. They also said that it wouldn’t detect gunpowder residue (a lie) and that many IEDs could be made with household products and beauty aids.
I didn’t feel safer based on their response.
