O'Hare, the busy airport of the world, has about 6 or 7 lanes in terminal two for one checkpoint and during peak times all are open and the lines aren't really that long.

Why because the airport and TSA work together to know when the most passengers are coming through and when extra flights are added so a airline doesn't get hit with huge delays because they don't inform TSA.



Ok, I'll redo that. The whole airport security system by TSA is a bunch of BS. Ive talked to people in the military since being in that were asked to test it and said how much of a joke it is. And some of these guys know more about fighting terrorists and then any Screening Manager, FSD, AFSD, Supervisor, Lead, or screener does.

I got fed up with working with TSA because it was more harassment then it was help. The x-rays that are being used to check carry-ons are bad, you'd be lucky to catch someone thats planted a explosive in there because of all the items in a bag that a person carries. Then again you don't really have to do that because you can just strap in on you and never get caught.

Airport security didn't fail America on 9/11, Government intelligence did but security has taken the fall.



This is one of your most recent posts and why I have some issue with you.



How do you know for a fact that the people sending the new procedures and stuff down to you guys are security experts? What have some of these people done that make them so.

Fact is, a lot of people here and around the world proably know better because the guys that come up with these planes to attack America are not seasoned veterns. They don't do multiply attacks and learn from mistakes. They usually do one major attack that kills everyone involved so no lesson can be learned.

If 9/11 had been done by experts, that 4th plane would have hit it's target.


How about instead of giving these people grief for their comments all the time you just see what they write and think about what it is their saying. A lot of it makes sense.


Oh and a for instance.

In the next few weeks Ill be traveling on orders overseas and I've already talked to my airport here and they said just bring my orders and the airline can remove the SSSS if I should get it.

In O'Hare they said that had been done away with and all people get screened with SSSS.

Once you start to travel you start to understand the hassel, and I've flown through only a few airports. Some of these people fly thru hundreds a year.
