I have not ever said that halls, I have always maintained that it was a failure in policy.
The 9/11 hijackings were planned and executed on the correct belief that once on board, the hijackers could take control of the aircraft with any number of implements available, because prior to 9/11, airline policy in force forbid crews from resisting a hijacking.
I know this, which is why we no longer allow those types of things to happen, or at least we try. So far its worked, but humans are infinitely adaptable and the tactics of terror will always change. The objective is to try and catch the people as well as the weapons.
Your precious BDO program might be designed to find people who could post a danger to other passengers, but it hasn't been a success, has it?
That depends entirely on how you define the term success.
Let's see. No proven science, and all you are catching is evidence of non-aviation safety related criminal activity. And you wonder why courts are starting to rule against TSA?
Even with a stack of documentation a mile high some people are going to have your attitude about it. It’s a “no win” situation for the TSA with you folks. You have closed your mind to the advantages that the program can provide, and to the fact that it is only one more layer in the entire security system that TSA and others are providing. I cant
prove to you the validity of the program, you would need to get past your own personal prejudice first before the evidence could be presented. I don’t ever see that happening, you enjoy your hatred far to much to ever think about giving it up.
Again, the 9/11 lie. Does everyone in TSA have to sign a loyalty oath swearing they believe in this false statement?
Gonna call BS on you for that one halls. The facts of the costs of the 9/11 attacks are irrefutable. Undeniable. But until you open your mind and get off your own personal prejudice those facts will never be enough for you to admit your error. Sad.
