Harms of Post-9/11 Airline Security
One, we are not doing the right things: the focus on airports at the expense of the broader threat is not making us safer. And two, the things we are doing are wrong: the specific security measures put in place since 9/11 do not work. ... At this point, we don’t trust America’s TSA, Britain’s Department for Transport, or airport security in general. We don’t believe they’re acting in the best interests of passengers. We suspect their actions are the result of politicians and government… (www.schneier.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
ding, ding, ding ...WE HAVE A WINNER! The rush to secure the airports was indeed a political action and not based on intelligence and reason. If you had said this four years ago somebody would have yelled "treason"...maybe the country is returning to its senses.
We can only hope... But, unfortunately, I have my doubts.
So far the terrorists have accomplished their objective of disrupting and altering our way of life. Fearful populace means they win. Pure theater - I think a tragedy. People living in fear are much easier to control.
You would be right if anyone is in fear, I don't know one person that doesn't fly because they are afraid of terrorists, people fly because we have the security we do, if we didn't, no one would fly.
Honestly, I fly less because of the kabuki theatre security system. When I do fly, I know the last line of defense is me and everyother able body passenger and crewman. In fact, I'd love to have Grandma's knitting needles to place firmly in a terrorist eye, but they were left at security. Guess the good guys will have to improvise because of the TSA not seeing the forest fore the trees.
Assuming you can even fight, of course, but they can get them just easily as you can.
That's comment sound like 2 AM in a biker bar. And yeah, they can get em, but unless they bought 50% of the tickets, they're underdogs. I don't care how bloody it gets as long as the islamic terrorist don't use the jet to knock down a building
Apperently you've never been, it's usually a bit more blunt. 2 AM at work comment is what it was, but it's actually still only 10 PM, so it is looking up.
