Old_Zircon At this point all it would take is one half-assed dirty bomb, even if it didn't properly detonate, and we'd be under martial law in 24 hours.
Not doing anything is the smartest move the terr'ists have made.

Riskbreaker      Fucking security, how does it work?
|
Koda Maja      Who screens the screeners?

spikestoyiu Congratulations, you've summed up Reddit's activity for the last month and a half.

FABIO Why do I get the nagging feeling that the sudden outbreak of anti-TSA coverage is somehow connected to security privatization pushes...
|
|
|
Old_Zircon But yeah, right-wing media outlets definitely seem to be even more outspoken and shrill about this than left leaning ones, at least online.
|
Meatsack Jones      Wait for the "See Something, Say Something" campaign, coming to a Walmart near you.
|
Old_Zircon I lived in Boston for most of the last decade; we've had that since like 2002.
|
TeenerTot      But who will come to my house to pat me down before I get in my car??? I demand more security before I drive!!
|
Old_Zircon Oh, they've been deploying security vans that can scan other vehicles for months in the US, and years in Iraq. It's not even a big secret.

Jet Bin Fever      Dr. Philip Zombardo (and his goatee) is having a field day. This is pretty much the Stanford Prison Experiment all over again with better costumes. Unchecked abuses of power.

Enjoy      I flew out of DFW and SEA the past two days and the Rapescan machines were turned off and no patdowns. I'm not sure if the threat level is too low or they are letting things cool down or what.
|
Enjoy Also a few weeks back I flew out of Gate D in Charlotte, the same gate where the flight attendant got her prosthetic boob worked over, and they were completely obnoxious. When I declined the Rapescan they started yelling "WE HAVE AN OPT-OUT" and all the uniformed TSA gathered around to see a supevisor give me a rubdown.

spikestoyiu I have tons of facial hair, which guaranteed that I was getting the full pat down treatment long before the new policies went into effect. I have a great dick and balls, though, so I don't care.
|
samstein      So what will happen if I try to wear 215 pairs of underpants while I am rapescanned?
|
Old_Zircon I don't know. I assume they'd arrest you if you wore a cup with a rat trap glued to it.
