OMG I can't believe it - TSORon actually said something correct - "There is no perfect technology."
He is right.
There is also no such thing as a perfect world free of terror. At some point we have to address the likelihood of a catastrophic attack and balance that against things like the US Constitution, human rights, basic freedoms and liberties, health concerns, and things of this nature.
There is no perfect technology and there is no perfect answer. We live in an inherently risky world and all the clamor and noise the TSA is making over this supposed terror threat is nothing more than an absurd overreaction to something that will eventually happen again anyway no matter how hard they try to think they are making a difference. Sorry folks, that's the world we live in. Sooner or later our number is gonna be up.
