That's a good point, but not entirely true. I'm half Lebanese. Despite being "randomly selected" often, my Beirut-born brother has taken a box cutter on every flight he's been on since 9/11 just because he can.
TSA is quite uneffective.
- ajju 16y agoI have heard about a lot of people who have inadvertently carried things on flights, including a 12 inch knife on two separate flights. Regardless, if someone is doing this on purpose, but without malicious intent, you may want to avoid naming them on a public forum.
- techbio 16y ago"Shhh, we can't talk about it" is the root of most social problems.
- ajju 16y agoI am all for talking about it if it involves you. Go public and say: Here's what happened. Here is why security sucks. This ensures that you get attention and reduces the chances that the govt. will stupidly punish you (aka punish the messenger) for having broken the law. But given that the govt. is gung ho about prosecuting anyone who so much as mentions something about attacks on the Internet (see recent GPS tracking of Redditor by FBI), I don't recommend making 3rd parties with innocent intentions public without their permission and subjecting them to trouble. Agreed that this is sad.
