- shimon_e 10y agoDepends if there is extra screening before its checked. There was a theory amongst reddit commentators it was so some 3 letter agency can install tracking chips. If we are going to dabble in speculation we may as dabble in all of it.
- the_mitsuhiko 10y agoSo you are suggesting the the US are deploying agents at airports in foreign countries? That sounds very unlikely and very hostile.
- aithoughts 10y agoI disagree for a very simple reason: Screening is not being carried out properly. http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/01/politics/tsa-failed-undercover-airport-screening-tests/ http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/01/politics/tsa-failed-undercover... I think we suffer from authority bias on this one.
