Because we all know if box cutters had not been used, the whole 9/11 plot would have crumbled and fallen apart. :rolleyes:

That doesn't require having a very expensive army of "security" screeners living off the federal government's taxpayer-funded workfare workfarce program.

Yes, and they are successfully being used in other venues such as the CN Tower in YYZ.

Because TSA is removed all Explosives Trace Portal out of checkpoints. So that's why I didn't see it. TSA doesn't usually the ETP very often. Those passengers who likely to get through WTMD is better way to do it.

the general public loves the TSA. They think this "security" is great.

The general public are horses buttz.

The airlines ought to be solely responsible for security, so the public can decide which airline to patronize and the passenger can make that decision based upon whatever he or she feels is most important.

The markets work for everything, not the way everyone wants them to, but in the best way as in the place where WILLING customers contract with WILLING suppliers, rather than coercion and compulsion as it is today.

Absolutley not. First, remember that something designed to knock out an adult can kill a small child or baby.

Second, even with a double key system, there is still a chance of the wrong people getting their hands on the system, and I'm not talking about the bad guys either **cough ** tsa **cough**

With all the jets they scramble because some Okie from Muskogie is flying with someone who's *(looks around conspiratorially and whispers)* "Brown" for the first time, and he gets up to use the lav one time too many, I'm not sure I would want knockout gas on board either.

After all, there's no such thing as a OVERabundance of caution...

After running the TSA gauntlet in BWI, ORD, and LAX the past week, I am now convinced it is nothing more than a government-run jobs creation program. There must have been twenty TSA people standing around at BWI and LAX. I was greeted by the BWI ID-checker with "yo mister let me see them documents" and in ORD two of the employees were flirting while they scanned items--one said to the other "You got one fine body" right in front of the other passengers. Completely unprofessional.

Just wonderful.

Completely unprofessional:TSA Job #!

Just think of what he's saying as they run passengers through the strip-search machine.

Remember - "You don't professionalize, until you federalize."

I'm surprised that Fox hasn't ressurected "Married....with Children and made Al Bundy a modern day TSA employee.

SO they work, but they break down....

How about fix the bugs?!?!?!!?!? Hell combine it with a WTMD machine.

Very good point.

Al Bundy would never lower himself to working there. He'd rather sleep with Peggy.
