TSA Quietly Forcing Some Through Body Scan *AND* Pat-Down, Even If Scan Is Clear
- mtgx 10y agoSo they don't think the scan is good enough to detect real threats (which it isn't [1]). Why bother with the cancer-giving scans [2] at all then? They couldn't possibly be there just to make a few people rich [3], could they?!

- I_am_neo 10y agoThe only thing really needed from the TSA is armed and armored personnel with excellent aim. Keep your pat downs for the locker room, if some crazy jumps out and starts murdering people keep me safe with your aim. Pat downs and scanners are a waste of perfectly good resources.
- ParadoxOryx 10y agoWith how poorly trained so many of the TSA agents currently seem to be, I'd be more than a little concerned with the idea of handing them all guns.
