New study proves just how worthless TSA airport body scanners really are
‟In laboratory tests with a real machine, we were able to conceal guns, knives, and explosive simulants in such a way that they were not visible to the scanner operator,” the report reads. ‟We also studied the cyberphysical security of the machine and were able to show how an attacker could subvert the operator console software so that it would be possible to conceal all types of contraband.” (www.dailydot.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Millions of American's rights of privacy and probable cause, have been violated, and not ONE terrorist have they caught or detected to date!
Strange as it sounds, and as inept and hated as the TSA is, has it just been sheer dumb luck that we have NOT had a hijacking since 911, and I am not defending them by any means.
IMHO, one (only?) good to come from 9/11 is that hijacking a plane in America is now a losing proposition. 100+ passengers who will very quickly realize they have nothing to lose is a powerful deterrent. A hijacker knows he/she might get into the plane, but actually achieving an end goal will be near impossible. Failure, as I understand it, (and I don't) might mean that the promised 1001 Virgin's won't be provided.
Dumb luck? Probably some combination of things, including dumb luck, United 93, additional difficulties getting into a plane (whether that is designed by TSA or not) plus current efforts at destabilizing Iraq/Syria (hey, even terrorists have limited resources).

Hopefully anyone considering such an event will realize they just may be the one at which point they run out of virgins. Gosh, just think about it, 1001 virgins for each and every terrorist who forfeits his life. That's a lotta virgins! I wanna know what the female terrorists win.
Actually, it's just 72 virgins, so they'll go a bit further.
I stand corrected.
I like the old joke...The terrorist are confused. They think they are going to meet-up with 72 virgins. Surprised when they are met by 72 West Virginians.
Eternal virginity?
Would passengers be able to gain access to flight decks with reinforced cockpit doors?
