How quickly we forget about 9/11. I guess its going to take another 3,000 people to die in a terrorist attack for people to stop whining because they are embarrassed to get in the full body scanner. Here are a couple options to get over that problem.

1. Go to the gym if you are embarrased about your body.

2. Don't fly on a plane.

One of those options should fix the problem.


You realize that its not just invasive, its very ineffective right?


My mom works for TSA. I'll ask her personally how ineffective it is. You don't like it then blame the terrorists for creating the need for things like this.

Yes we should it's called profiling, saves alot of money.

Hire well educated interviewers who do the job subtly so as not to embarrass

Just like Israel who have not been attacked in years

Yeah I agree profiling would work except we know that can't happen because of the nonstop lawsuits that would ensue.

Depends on how we play it, the Israeli's use mostly psych profiling- which doesn't discriminate against against race or religion. Just crazies.

You don't think racial profiling would cause a shit storm?

No matter how fair it actually is, the press would immediately make a hayday of it and it wouldn't last long at all.

Also, I'm curious, how do you psych profile someone by seeing them for all of two seconds?

I believe more lawsuits are going are going to filed due to the thugish behavior of the tsa agents.

And where is the ACLU not a word or NOW very quiet. And this is a federal organization so possibly they can't be sued

I think the fact that it doesn't have a very high chance of being successful is what is preventing this from happening.


Have you seen the security at airports in the USA? I have. A fully armed dozen people out for blood would make it through fine. Especially with a handy number of body shields running around panicked out of their mind. Keep in mind that people keeping the peace would have to care a great deal about civilian casualties.


Yeah, I've seen the security at airports in the US, seems pretty tight. Do you realise how long it would take for terrorists to "shoot their way" to the nearest plane? Longer than the amount of time it takes for Emergency Response Units to reach the scene, I'm sure.

EDIT: Oh, and don't get me wrong, I voted "no" on the poll, I am very much against body scanners and the like, I just don't think your "what if" scenario is likely.

I thought Gnizmo meant just shooting up an airport in general, not making a frontal attack to acquire a plane

Ugh...I hate them for frisking me but I guess it can't be helped. These damn terrorists.

I have one big complaint though. PLEASE the one frisking you should be a woman not a fat ugly old geezer with a mustache. Ugh.

Wait, I'm confused.  Are you saying your own what if scenario couldn't happen?


Not really. The ultimate question is "Why isn't this happening?" There are a lot of other situations that make you ask the same. Some make me simply question the competence of our enemy while others make me questions their number. This is one to question their number.
