quote:That's the problem. For all the verbiage describing "outraged" thoughts and feelings, here's what it comes down to: a very blah, generic demand for something better, hardly even a talking point.
-Support rational and effective security oversight and an end to this disgraceful farce which is the TSA.
You, and many other "outraged" people have zero Plan B. How can it be possible to make access to aircraft safe for the public without some kind of search? Even if we all got naked, remember those body cavity bombs! This is a hard problem folks!
Yes, the Israeli behavioral scrutiny has been suggested, but the counter argument has been that it doesn't scale to the size of U.S. air traffic. Myself, I think they get so many false positives that they can easily catch bad guys. Probably, in the end, using the same intrusive searches that we are complaining about now. And do you see TSA employees becoming such observational experts?
So, if you're going to complain, at least let us know of your realistic alternative first.
