Yup...suspect/guilty/terrorist until cleared by scrutiny.

It will be interesting to see the fall-out should something happen again (God forbid) and they play the videos from the scrutiny points at airports around the country showing the true "guilty" parties entering the system unhassled in the background whilest grannies, GradGirl, my wife or daughters, and assorted other innocent citizens are getting the grand grope and full going over in the foreground. I bet if you look closely, you'll even see the true "guilty" parties just look over at the grope zone and smile knowingly and mutter a little mental "thank you." They have so figured out how to avoid all this by now it is not even funny...just pathetic on the part of our so called DHS leadership.

No SSI SOP currently being forced down our throats at the scrutiny points has prevented or will prevent another 9/11...it WILL happen if and when THEY want it to...but why would they waste their time, money and resources...they have reached their goal...they created terror.

The only attempted event wasn't stopped at a scrutiny point but mid-air by FAs and fellow passengers...I don't even think a FAM was around the one time you needed one.

Looking for sharp-pointy things and feeling up grannies has so little to do with keeping me safe in the air, I chuckle at the self-importance of the uniforms, shouted orders and air of superiority every time I prance through scrutiny...and can that TSA be any bigger on the backs of the shirts? Probably, because some bean head somewhere says...hey we made it larger once and no one attacked, it must be a deterent...make it BIGGER and they are sure to be scared to try anything again.

But of course, as with this current administration, there will be no admitance of responsibility and no accountability for this smoke and mirrors illusion they are trying to seduce us with.

I have not and will not drink the kool-aid.
