But let us suppose you are right, TSA deters the boogeyman. So instead he will just attack something else. But were are all these attacks? Why do we assume only planes will be attacked?
- dwild 11y ago> only a dumb one would be afraid of being caught in line Really? You begin to say they are statically insignificant and then follow by saying they wouldn't care with failed operations. That doesn't seems like an intelligent solution when you doesn't have much opportunities. I'm pretty sure by giving your life you would hope to kill more than a few dozen people... which you can do pretty much anywhere. Sadly, any potential solutions will always seems like they aren't effective because of the likelihood of an attack. > Why do we assume only planes will be attacked? Who assume that? I don't... All we can do is minimize the ratio effort:death, that include not having a huge crowd in a confined space. I remember a documentary about train technology to limit death in trains, I don't remember the conclusion, but the goal wasn't to stop explosion, just to limit death. Sure any death is bad but no solution will be perfect.
- dragonwriter 11y agoTSA was not created in response to unforesern attacks on airplanes creating a new percroved need (those happened before) but to unforeseen use of airliners as weapons. Other transportation systems may be equally attractive as targets, but few, if any, are equally exploitable as weapons.
