Whatever the case is most of everything on here is anecdotal and just feeds off itself.
It is not anecdotal to note that by TSA's own numbers, the BDO program is a laughable and pathetic failure, nor that scientists who study human behavior regard it as such. It is not anecdotal to note that countries without a shoe carnival have not had any planes brought down by shoe bombs. It is not anecdotal to note that TSA has been dishonest from day one about strip-search technology.
