I suppose that from a practical perspective they are lucky that the feds didn't abuse their power by treating air traffic violators as if they were deliberately attempting mass murder, but it's a bit disturbing how plausible that scenario is.
- derefr 11y agoNow that you mention it... there's pretty much no point in the TSA's involvement in passenger-side airport security when airplanes are comparatively much more easily attacked from the outside. If I was a terrorist, I know which method I'd choose.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoWouldn't that be detonating the bomb on the airport instead? This whole security theater only plays into terrorists' hands. Yes, it may be more difficult to board a plane with explosives nowadays, but on the other hand we have hundreds of people stuck in a line trying to pass through security one-by-one, dropping potential liquid explosives into a single bin!
