As I lawyer, I've conducted hundreds of depositions in my 18 year career. After spending a full 8 hours with a witness during which I can ask virtually whatever I want, the witness is compelled to respond under penalty of perjury, and I can study the witness' responses (and after conducting and analyzing weeks of written discovery and being completely familiar with the facts surrounding the witness' testimony), I can usually arrive at a fairly informed opinion as to whether a witness is lying or not, has something to hide, etc. The idea that a BDO, after a few days of training, can make this determination based solely on a few moments of observation is ludicrous beyond all belief.
the same person who believes Amsterdam is in the UK also tried to lecture us about the duties and training of an FFDO. Predictably, almost everything he posted was incorrect.

Sorry to leave this thread alone for so long, but I've been in the land of the slow internet (and surfing the web instead of sightseeing would be a crime in of itself).
Just to clarify: I've never sworn at a TSA worker and don't plan to. My thoughts were merely to speculate on what could happen to someone if they did. I would also prefer not to sink to such a level, but wanted to get an idea of what one might expect if they did, either intentionally or unintentionally.

Sounds like someone needs to go back to grade school at Amsterdam is in the country of the Netherlands which is 200 miles from the UK.

Bank teller: "Excuse me?"
Robber: "Give me all the money or you're geography!!"
Teller: "Uh, don't you mean 'history'?"
Robber: "Don't change the subject!"
(Hey, this thread was OT already...)

Most reasonable people aren't necessarily going to be happy that an expensive, ineffective government organization which they are funding is subjecting them to frequent nonsense in the name of "security".

TSORon casts quite a few stones in our direction, talking about our general "ignorance" of security issues. The reaction here is quite measured, compared to what it could be.

So TSOron makes a mistake and you along with others immediately pounce on him saying, "get your facts straight before you type on a keyboard." Don't you think you ought to make damn sure what you're typing is correct before you publish it, especially when trying to make someone else look foolish??

While ignorance of the facts isn't necessarily foolishness, trying to make a point by relying upon ignorance does appear foolish to many.
