Or Eric Robert Rudolph? They were all unknowns to 99.9% of the planet, before they became famous for their actions. So who is to say that the guy with the pistol in his bag at JFK is not a terrorist? Or the one in Atlanta? Or the woman that wanted to get her bottle of “water” through the checkpoint in Kansas? Your reasoning is faulty AM, and I suspect it’s because of 2 things. Lack of information, and prejudice.
McVey? Rudolph? Please tell me how a TSA operative working at an airport could have done anything about either one of those guys. Ronnie, you're grasping at domestic terrorist straws. Come back when TSA stops an actual terrorist operation.
The 19 on 9/11 WERE disarmed, at least to the standards of the day. Yet they caused untold amounts of destruction and cost. Again, your reasoning is faulty.
Wasn't talking about the terrorists on 9/11. Talking about post 9/11 and what has TSA did since then to impact terrorism in this country. Sadly, TSA isn't much better than the civilians they replaced.
I don’t remember hearing about anyone getting killed because of a TSO or a baggage handler taking something out of their bag AM. But hey, I admit I could have missed that story. Gimmie a link to it and I’ll review the information.
Ronnie, what goes out of a bag can be replaced with something significantly deadlier. I suspect that it will only be a matter of time before one of your coworkers does a favor for a real terrorist.
And a giant elephant eating amoeba could crawl out of your nose tomorrow. Its just as likely as you opening your mind enough to let your prejudices concerning TSA escape and allow you a look at the facts. Anything is possible AM, we can “what if” all year long and never get to an answer.
Hmm a giant elephant eating amoeba? Not likely. Not anymore likely than some of the scenarios TSA relies on when determining terroristic threats by watching Hollywood created fantasies as a threat analysis tool. Going to have to try harder Ronnie.
Last I heard TSA was on target with the congressional mandate, 100%. Again I admit I could have missed that story. Gimmie a link to it and I’ll review the information.
Sure they are on target. How many times have the goal posts been moved to keep them on target?
Anything is possible AM, we can “what if” all year long and never get to an answer. What a useless game.
Shoe carnival, war on liquids, BDOS, SPOT, TSA, all what ifs and never did as much as stop a single terrorist.
