IND Propaganda Piece
In the local Indianapolis rag of a newspaper, they ran a "9/11" piece on how our new airport was designed for security.
A sample...
link to full story
I'm actually proud of the comments it has drawn already. the sheeple of Indy even see the TSA as the farce they are. They also call out the poor design of our new airport that requires TWO checkpoints for the entire 24 gates of the airport; and the fact it takes 330 TSA employees to man those checkpoints...
My favorite response so far...
and I (nor spiff, I bet) wrote it 
A sample...
Robert Spitler, the airport's director of security, said using blue panels, lighted signs and boxes in the security areas, where 330 officers with the Transportation Security Administration work, help to keep the airport safe.
"It has a calming effect and helps move people in a more comfortable manner through the screening process," Spitler said. "In other airports, they've had to drop (new security designs) into the middle of a concourse. It's become a crowded, hectic, chaotic situation. "
TSA spokeswoman Lauren Gaches, said stress is a major factor in security work.
"Any time we can calm down a security checkpoint, we can drive down stress and it allows our officers better ability to identify individuals with bad intent."

this is truly a BS news article. IF.. if that airport was designed correctly they would have ONE checkpoint not two.
Look, next time you are there... TSA is standing around with their hands-on-their-peckers because they have so little work to do.
State of the art terminal? you have got to be kidding me. And INDY STAR fell for their propoganda. shame on you. Indy STAR shame on you for swallowing their BS.

If calming passengers down is a barometer for effectiveness of their efforts, they should be administering Propofol to every passenger coming through.
Still wouldn't help.
