Yeah, that makes it original alright.:rolleyes:

Information.

You can have a stack that high, Ron, but if it's full of garbage it's just a stack of paper. What's been produced is based on bad science and has already been pointed out why that's so. Even the results of the program show a very high false positive rate and what has been found doesn't even fall within the scope of why TSA was founded in the first place.

Much like TSA's layers, if the layers are ineffective and don't do anything, the layers are useless.

We want good security to win, believe it or not. We don't want stupid security to win. Unfortunately, it has been.

Actually Ron, here is what you said.

So I guess you do have a stack of documentation. By all means feel free to post it and provide us with a link so we can confirm it.

He can’t; it’s SSI don’t ‘cha know!

Just like the stack of documentation that I have at my house which shows that my pet rock has stopped untold amounts of terrorists attempting to hijack planes; that is SSI as well.

But since you are are not a trained BDO, you can't tell if the BDO's are being truthful when they talk to you.

:D

;););):D

And since all of these conversations and reports tell you that BDOs have never, ever, ever, ever caught a single solitary person trying to harm an aircraft, exactly why are you persuaded of its effectiveness? Aside from the fact that you're not very bright?

Questioning the TSA faithful is more often than not an exercise in futility -- just look at Kip Hawley. It's an exercise in futility because it all comes down to the faith of the TSA's loyal flock. The words belief and believes tell it all. Faith can get in the way of intelligence and at the TSA that is clearly an issue.

None have been caught because they are too scared. The program has worked.

How's that kool aid tasting?

It's not your BDO's that are scaring terrorists away. It's my magic rock. It keeps terrorists away and cowering in fear. How do I know? Have you seen any terrorists at the airport lately? And BTW, I can't show you the documentation as it's SSI.

Look we are all on the wrong track here.

It is not whether any of these procedures are effective or not, it is just about expanding power and keeping jobs.

Terrorists be damned, just use them as an excuse to keep the money coming, and if we have trample on American's rights no big deal, just keep the (taxpayer's) money coming in.

That's right:

I apologize for missing your post that said it much better than I did.

It's not the spotnik nonsense; that would not deter a terrorist. However, I am prepared to concede that terrorists may have been diverted by the increased airport security and visa restrictions following 9/11 but it is equally possible that that was a one-off, the dernier cri of US mainland attacks. Hard to top that, and the FBI has said there is no evidence of terrorist cells in the US anyway.
