Checkpoints and Borders Policy Debate - Pistole: The Show Must Go On: Planes, Trains and Buses

Aspen Security Forum: One on One with John Pistole (http://www.aspentimes.com/article/20120728/NEWS/120729878/1077%26ParentProfile=1058)

John Pistole spent more than an hour explaining in Aspen, the TSA's mission and vulnerabilities. I wonder why it took him so long? [Mission: Showtime; Vulnerability: Insight and Judgement]

Pistole: We can't go back to pre-9/11 days.
Why? because we haven't had a repeat 9/11.

When asked, why do I have to take my shoes off, Pistole responded, It's not a risk we're willing to take.

More pearls: Ground travel is where we're most vulnerable. [Expect more Union Station episodes.]

And the TSA will remain, he said, "There are no discussions about reducing the workforce."

Well, considering that no one in Washington is even talking about TSA and the way how TSA has been ignoring pretty much everything sent their way, it is a writing on the wall. If anything, they will only get bigger and uglier.

Won't let me comment on that article because it uses facebook, and I refuse to waste my time with that crap.

“Terrorism has no face,” he said.
Of course it does, it's called the TSA.

I'm sure there's a vacant office with his name on the door at The Chertoff Group HQ.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Sad thing is that even if we do get a new administration next year, I'm not sure we'll get a better director at TSA.

Same sh!t, different shovel. :td:

Did anyone else ever think they'd miss Kippie? :(

I'd volunteer, but they'd never take me - my intense hatred for TSA is well known in my department and amongst colleagues in the interagency.

I'd dismantle TSA and rebuild it so fast Blogger Bob wouldn't know what hit him.

You'd also probably fail the non-critical thinking test :D
