Why is it the TSA is completely incapable of thinking like a terrorist? I bet I could challenge everyone on this board to give it 10 minutes thought and then put forward an idea for a terror plot that took into account the TSA's "preparedness" and they'd come up with dozens of simple but terrifying ideas, none of which would be stopped by the shoe carnival or the liquids ban. I'd start with an attack on all the people standing in line with their shoes off and their laptops out. This is like a special target, prepared by TSA, gift-wrapped, and sent to OBL with a personally engraved invitation to attack, signed and SWAK by Kip Hawley.

I mean, I regularly fire people for not being creative and competent enough. If I were running a terror organisation, and my people couldn't counter the TSAs approach to "security", I'd fire the lot of them. It's brain-dead simple.
