Post by: Eagleone on March 03, 2007, 11:08:27 PM Guess the public has to make a decision on how much they are willing to sacrifice in the interest of "safe" air travel. So what's the over/under of youtube offerings of airport screens in the future.

When I get on a plane, I would feel better, if everybody when through this! Who cares about "private bits", when somebody rips a weapon/explosive off their body, at a few thousand feet!!!!

I'm not sure what I think of the technology. I've generally been pretty understanding of the airport security measures and screeners. However, I flew in and out of Newark Liberty this past Friday and would best describe the screeners I encountered there as power drunk commando wannabes. They were way over the top and pretty much verbally abusive. I recall an epsiode of All in the Family where Archie suggests that the answer to airline security is to give every passenger a gun upon boarding the plane. While it wouldn't help against a bomb, it wouldv'e prevented 9/11!! |
