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]
I read the 9/11 report. The airlines were warned of the pilot cabin door's weakness. They claimed it would have been too costly and time consuming to strengthen the doors! I'm a handyman, I'll reinforce that door in 12 minutes with a battery drill, a latch, and a few pieces of strap steel. Or, How about the pilot release sleepy gas to stop a takeover? I had it when I was 8 yrs old with no effects.
So why are you telling everybody? I'm a citizen flyer and was doing just fine without this knowledge. I trust that since YOU folks in charge know of the problem you are quietly fixing it. Remember when the New Your times published a story about how our CIA was tracking osama bin laden's satellite cell phone? The next day every cell phone within 20 miles of bin laden was destroyed. Why did they publish that info? The editor and owner are lucky I am not in charge, they would never be seen again.
A man was mailed in a box, by plane......and even he passed by scanners, he got to the billed adress.
I get it. Does TSA get it? Please figure out how to devote our resources to clearly identify the bad guys and those countries which send commercial aircraft (passenger & cargo) to the US to be equally technologically viligent.
The Israel State airline EL AL has been dealing with terrorists way before we in America had a clue. They profile young Muslim Arab men. The TSA is feel good but basically worthless politically correct security theater.
Border jumping Mexicans fly without ID however. We look like clowns. We will pay for it. Soon. End of story.

And how do they know that Johnny Appleseed from Dayton Ohio is not a muslim? Profiling based on stereotypes does not work. What EL AL actually do is behavioural screening, and that works.
It's criminal how we treat one another and our home known as Earth.
