Ah, that’s why KCI has private security screeners rather than TSA losers.
Perhaps all should fly in the nude.
Safe and interesting...
What’s in the red boxes in the opt out graphic?
When they send you through the scanners, grab your skull and scream like your head is about to explode and drop to floor in convulsions. Make sure someone os videotaping the incident though.
Just because private contractors, instead if government employees, pat me down doesn’t mean it’s any less of an infringement on my liberty.
Hillbuzz came up with the idea for people to come in their underwear in Chicago. It would be legal there.
He wants someone with bucks to hire some actors and make a statement by showing up nearly naked.
All they need is a little creativity...
Opt out of TSA, hire ex-Hooters girls and strippers as screeners for the guys. Skimpy outfits and mandatory opposite-sex pat-downs! Guys would be buying tickets just to go thru security ;-)
It might take longer however, if the guys had guns in their pockets, so to speak...
The TSA has become a jobs program for minorities. Most of these people barely qualify for an entry job at McDonalds.
The bad news is, the company that gets the gig will be unionized.
The author describes the problem adequately but doesn’t identify the underlying cause correctly.
Anybody with a brain would realize right away that adopting the Israeli profiling model would not work in a country with EEO hiring practices. The Israelis don’t have that fatal hindrance. And unless there is an immediate end to PC in the United States, it’s only a pipe dream for fantasists.
I’m sorry. The only WORKABLE - as opposed to desired or imagined - solution to airline security in this country is to have machines to do the work that humans should do but are unable to, for the reasons given above.
The tea party is facing its Joe Miller moment. If it embraces this fringy tangent at the expense of its founding issues (defeating confiscatory, social democracy economic policy and the strangulation through environmentalism), then the average American will be offput by its march to the grassy knoll, and go for the business-as-usual political set instead.
Mark. My. Words.
This could become a classic example of what Rush Limbaugh categorizes as “Demonstrating absurdity by being absurd”.
That being said, airline safety procedures should be modeled after the Israeli model.
Not sure I agree, Joe. ;-)
I msee a market with T-shirts having lead foil letters “ FU TSA” sown in.
What do you mean barely? Most of them would get fired the first day on the job at Mikey D's. They have strict standards on cleanliness, polite treatment of customers and actually working when you are on the clock.
You're missing the point. The feds don't have accountability to the airlines or their passengers if they make the passengers angry. Private contractors hired by the airlines will have such accountability and will get fired if they screw up by doing stupid things like patting down 3 year olds and nuns.
Hair, fat, flab, discoloration, minimal sanitary skills, piercings in ‘odd’ places, tattoos in ‘odd’ places, unconfined flatulence....
Don't even go there, my FRiend, don't even go there.
Airports won’t do it because then THEY will have to provide security out of their own pockets.
