You're saying, with a straight face, that the number on the nameplate, next to the name of the TSAer, was on public display for nothing more than ordering uniforms?
If so, knowing TSA, would you be surprised?

Interesting but would ETD find it?

if you hate your job find another one, because what you do is un-american and in my eye treason.

Why have you decided that I work for TSA?

ETD wouldnt find this because its not a explosive, totally inert but is just as effective.

Yes I would like to see or know the chemical compound and how something completely inert is also volatile?

But now your just as bad, you made an assumption on the basis of nothing...sound familiar? I am forever a student and my opinion is mine fan or not, I think TSA is a good idea however the application leaves a lot to be desired. But seriously your mad because of the order of the procedure and the fact that you gotta take of your shoes? spare me. The other crap that goes on such as stealing and power hunger it is just as bad as any other human who got a badge or title, it is misused. Do not misunderstand me I do not condone the actions I just do not understand the sheer hatred.

The combo is vecuronium, adenosine, lidocaine, and potassium.

As for your second set of comments i will leave that for another post as its needs it own. In short TSA is fubar from the top to the bottom.

Why have screening at all Spiff? You have said all government needs to be removed from civilian aviation, so why have screening at all? Just pay your money and take your chances. Odds are in your favor you'll be just fine.

Now if you have that other stuff you mentioned in your first sentence we can talk.

Screening should be done by private security contractors with no government interference.

I'd be ok with pay your money, take your chances as it already exists: general aviation. For commercial aviation, airlines should be free to compete on what security, if any, they choose to offer.

Fair enough. The "if any" is my point. If we're not looking at it from a national security perspective (US airspace) then it's a company decision and they should be allowed to opt out, if they wish.

Of course this is all hypothetical because it'll never, evah happen.

It's not like TSA's securing the airspace anyway.

What if a terrorist were to get a job at TSA... letting their buddies all in with him over time... then make sure to let their buddies with explosives and all through security... and then next thing you know, BAM, another plane exploded...

We could play what if scenarios for years...

Any group who wanted to exploit TSA will have already planted people. There are enough people in the US who could pass TSA muster, not to mention the excessive turnerover in TSA personnel.

Besides, the holes TSA has in it's on procedures are as wide as they can be. Airport workers entering the ramp area in vehicles are only randomly inspected. Then we have cargo and mail. If someone wants to compromise an airplane then plenty of methods are available.

Screening passengers is just about a complete waste of time if keeping bad things off airplanes is the goal.

It was so glaringly obvious that I thought even you wouldn't go there.

I agree totally... if your going to do something, do it consistent, and to everyone... exempting certain groups and people, just opens up your security wide open...
