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.

Ron, earlier you referred to a stack of documentation you had on hand to back up your claims. Now you can't prove the BDO approach works? 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.

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.

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.

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.
