[Matthew3590]

YAY! Soon I will be able to enjoy my double fee cost of taking in deadly x-rays and being illegally touched!

That is why I refuse to fly. I cannot stand to be touched by people I do not know. If I can't get there by train or car, I don't go.

At my age getting felt up is not so bad.

 

[hemet dennis]

I try to catch a flight to the market.

Yeah, but it will be by a guy.

Small price to pay for a safe trip.

I guess I will have to choose which register to use. Kind of like avoiding the register at the grocery store with the woman who cannot shut up.

Small price to pay for a safe trip.

Its not any safer nor is it a small price.

 

[chickened]

Its not any safer nor is it a small price.

It has a dual purpose, makes us feel safer and deters potential terrorism. It does in a way make flying safer but shifts the terrorist attacks to another area of our life. Killing terrorist is what makes us safer ultimately not reasoning with them.

Quote: It does not deter anything. If someone wants to blow up a lot of people they could do it at the TSA line in the airport. If they just wanted to blow up a plane they would just air mail a bomb. What is deterring is that no one would stand by an let a hijacking happen after 9/11. The passengers are the deterrent not the TSA. The only way to repeat 9/11 is fill the plane with your people or rent an private plane.

TSA is a serous attack on the 4th amendment an has no real up side.
