This is the most ignorant statement I've read in a month. $50,000 to some ex-TSA employee, and they'd know them too.

- profinger 11y agoProbably too many zeros there. A great deal of Americans would probably do it for $50.
- joshuapants 11y agoI could do it for $16 dollars worth of beer including my own at a bar near an airport
- jacquesm 11y agoI think you're offering at least a factor of 10 too high, you don't need to buy a congressman.
- javajosh 11y agoI honestly don't think there's much specialist knowledge required. Just fly a few times, sans contraband, and keep your eyes open. The TSA has always been about security theater. Unlike some I feel like their heart is in the right place (the same for the NSA too). It's too bad there's this huge expensive machine now with lots of entrenched interests and risk-averse leadership. Of course, being the hackers that we are, we might wonder how that money would be better spent. I for one advocate for a 2 hour "passenger mixer" prior to the flight. It would be mandatory, but catered, open bar, where you get to know your other passengers, and vote on whether someone needs further attention from authorities. A free party and you take your fate into your hands? And even with premium booze it would be far cheaper than the TSA. Plus if you get blown up you have no-one to blame but yourself.
