That's effective security, right there.
Yes, the nuclear power plants where security officers must frequently meet physical agility requirements, clearly a foreign environment for the majority of TS "O"'s. Judging by the pictures posted on the net though, the TS"O"'s do have the edge in napping prowess.
And mentioning the US Army negatively in the same sentence as TSA? Beyond contemptible.
I spend more time in airports than I care to, an experience negatively enhanced by the presence of you and your ilk, so please can the attitude. Fact is that the problem you're talking of is a simple filter sizing issue, as any engineering undergrad could tell you. A small team of engineering students could also easily design autocleaning filters that even TSA would have difficulty messing up.
Me and my ilk? Yea, right. You don't even know what I do. It is obvious as with every other thread here people will just read what they want and not actually discuss the issue. The problem with the puffers is not the filters but with the time it takes to analyze. I have mentioned that several times but you choose to ignore that and take pot shots. I see you and Spiff are of the same ilk, don't discuss the subject, just name call and try to bully.
