Utterly amazing. All these self appointed security experts and none with a clue about security. Gee am I glad that none of you are in charge of security anywhere, we would all be speaking Farsi and stoning those with a beer in their fridge.
Unpredictable screening is not supposed to be unpredictable for the TSA, its supposed to be unpredictable to the public and the terrorists. You didn’t know what was going to happen until after it was happening. You cannot prepare for screening that you cannot predict. At best you can prepare for everything you can think of and hope that the TSA has not thought of something else.

Not be allowed. Hmmm, interesting thought. And just how are you going to accomplish this important task?

Ahh, and this is the very quintessence of unpredictability. He can see the forrest, but complains that the trees are in the way. Good job Angry.

Because that is not what the TSA is there for. We have other government agencies that specialize in this, and they work together with the TSA and other agencies to make up the entirety of layered security.
As for Spiff’s comment, well all I can say is bring it on dude. We love the calls.
The ignorance displayed in this thread is absolutely amazing. You folks complain about security, yet completely miss the intent of the programs and then make our point by complaining about the unpredictability of programs that are designed to be unpredictable. Congratulations folks. If I thought that the traveling public was smart this group would be cause to change that.
