Errport Security, 2009 Homeland Edition

Sorry BHO, you must pick someone else. Sure this is great for the Evolution of Errol's career, but "Error Bag" and "Southie Bag" just lack the zing of "Kippies Kwart" Baggies.

He's the Homeland Security dude for LAX. Guess LAX will be the role model for the rest of the country. Oh well so much for change. He's for Big Brother Camera Land: Automated License Plate Recognition Technology according to above link page 7. He is also promoting Security thru "Randomization" of efforts, page 8. He calls for scientific research on peroxides explosives ^ but buys into the 2006 Liquids Plot. Prediction: War on Water continues unabated and BDO's get cameras.

This guy is a career cop, molded by the J. Edgar Brigade. He is put in charge of 44,000 LEO-wannabees with tin badges looking for mission creep. Unless the courts in Bierfield and Fofina put restrictions on The Southers Agency, I fear I am seeing the creation of a Nationl Blue Shirt Southersstaffel. I do hope I am wrong.

Hey, dogs are way better than virtual strip-searches or patdowns! I, for one, would much prefer being sniffed by a dog, providing he's polite and mannerly, than going into one of the machines or being fondled.

Kip Hawley, Idiot only had Pervert and Pederast on his resume and look what happened....

Bruce Schneier gets my vote and he's not an Idiot, nor does he have a law enforcement background.

I hope thats an accurate statement he made.
It's an accurate statement he made in that he made the statement -- otherwise I strongly supsect that it is a misleading statement in that he is paranoid, he is a fear-monger and is a realist in knowing what he fears when looking in the mirror and around.

He's not going to deliver big improvements to the TSA that weren't already under consideration before this year.

No, he does not have any management for studies at laws schools. He is experience all kind of his life work for police detective, FBI, CIA or whatever else. He is an excellent job work for FBI investigations are looking for suspecting who have arrested warrant to takedown the bad guys off the streets. It will spent rest the existance miserable life. It will keep drugs off the streets for good.

No, he doesn't says something about former KHIAI from the past. Please move on to do something else new TSA administrator will be introduce into the office. Just forgettable in the past old administrator Kip Hawley is long gone forever.

If you are saying that in his role as administrator of the TSA he will keep drugs off the streets for good, then you and I have a basic disagreement of the TSA's mission. Finding or not finding drugs should not be a measure for the effectiveness of how well the TSA is doing its job. And, if it is, then the TSA administrative search is illegal.

Hopefully he isn't the dimwit at LAX who wanted to close off access to the airport, then corral passengers in a unified facility where they could be 'officially transported' to the terminals.

New acronym: ESIAI

You said that about ESIAI is not appropriate something for him. You try to be clarify to get better aviation security. Passengers will need to kept the shoes on go through at metal detector. It will be axed old TSA policy with shoe carnival.

Holy crap, someone finally agrees with what I've said all along.

I'd put the percentage at about 80, though.

Agreed. Abut 80% of management and the bottom 25% of the TSO/BDO crowd. In fact, let's just get rid of BDOs entirely while we're getting rid of the shoe carnival and the water wars.
