You know what this tells me? The terrorists won.

That really sucks.

This lady is overly dramatic, like many CFL people, but follow a couple of the links in her article and it might make a believer out of you:

She has some good points, but let's get real here. I don't here anyone calling for the abolishment of cops, just because some of them suck. We obviously need some form of air security, just like we need law enforcement.

The best lock in the world won't deter a determined thief, but you still lock your bike/house/gym locker, right? Of course you do. To not do so, would be inviting trouble from the less skilled thieves of the world.

In my estimation, that's what TSA is. Are they very good at it? No, but the alternative is what? Bring your own gun and hope for the best? Fuck that. Half the people that own guns are complete morons, and I don't want to get shot by some idiot who thinks Shriners with Fez's on, all come from Morocco.

We need to fix the problems, not ignore the dangers. TSA needs better training and mandatory IQ tests.

I'm not saying abolish air security. Just the TSA. Things were just as secure before when private contractors, etc., handled airport security. TSA has improved nothing, all it has done is given those same minimum-wage asstards a sense of authority that they don't rate. And they oblige by providing the appropriate abuses of that authority.

The point I'm trying to make, is that same assholes who currently work for TSA, would likely ending up working for the private contractors anyway.

Bouncers, Mall Cops, etc...They're all cut from the same cloth. Surly bastards who couldn't be real cops, because they weren't smart enough, or couldn't pass the psych test.

Ditching the TSA isn't going to change that.

I know. What it would do is take away some of their real and imagined authority. Since it's been proven many times that their real authority doesn't keep us any more secure, and their imagined (and real) authority generally results in hot chicks getting unnecessary strip searches, I don't see what's to lose by getting rid of the federal administration. Keep the chodes, sure, but take their douchey badges away.

It was during the '04 elections. He basically said Kerry was unfit to be president. No threats, no "we need to fix him" or any other such language. But the "extra screening" started showing up shortly afterward, so it was either that or a speeding ticket he got in Dodson, LA for 5 over (but that's a whole other rant).

And his name isn't shared with anyone else?
