Airport police officer Ivy Galang and other duty officers "conducted rigid inspection on the item" and discovered 104 Malaysian passports, 57,000 U.S. dollars in cash, a mobile phone with the name "Osama bin Laden" on it and a Philippine map. How dumb are these diaperheads?

Great post. X-Ray machines can see logos?

"Can we hire security and airport inspectors like these....please?"Nope, not now. If you remember, President Bush was vocally against federalizing airport security, because he figured raising hiring/performing standards way hig, WITH government oversight to ensure those standard were upheld, would be much better than letting the Fed run anything. After all, what private enterprise does the government run which is both efficieant AND cost effective, hmmmmmmmm??
Unfortunately, everyone was so scared that airports couldn't be trusted to raise their standards, even with Homeland Defense breathing down their necks, that the American people, even the conservatives, caved to DEMOCRATS. Now airport security is not only federalized, but under DOT control!
Best bet: MAKE MUCH, LONG, LOUD NOISE AND GET AIRPORT SECURITY BACK INTO THE PRIVATE SECTOR, WHERE IT BELONGS.

It's possible there are things that can't be cost effective but we still need them.
What we really need are standards, oversight and consequences.

Yes.

A 42-year-old Malaysian man has been detained in the Philippines after airport security personnel confiscated more than 100 Malaysian passports in his luggage while he was in transit to Kuwait, an official said Friday.The detainee's lawyer is claiming that his client suffers from a REALLY severe case of Multiple Personality Disorder, and that he should be allowed to use the carpool lanes even when traveling solo.
If a person with MPD is threatening to commit suicide, does that count as a hostage situation?

CW, I agree, but don't believe the government is capable of handling airport security without at least 10,000 mor National Guard than it already has. Considering the NG'man in CA who managed to lose a wrestling match with his firearm and shoot himself at a CA airport ( I forget which ), I'm not too sure THAT'S the way to go yet, either.
Thanks, Sam.

Thanks for the heads up!
