also who cares about security risks who are not past the security checkpoint
what're they going to do, blow up a kiosk?
Or a lounge full of people, or the people queuing to check in, or a train/bus, etc. etc.
I'm mildly surprised that teh turrists haven't been keeping the pressure up with attacks just outside of the security lines, to keep the acts of terror close in mind and moving the security area further and further out into the airport.
brb MiB knocking on door
I have wondered that too, the lines to security is always packed with people and there is often ropes everywhere so its not like people can run away if something happens.
The answer is because terrorism is pretty rare!
also because there's even more packed places to pick
there needs to be a law about talking in movie theaters
or some sort of super gun mounted to the ceiling that targets in on people who make noise
Wash on

I've never flown before. There's no way I'm getting scanned or groped so I guess I'm taking the train and will have to prolong my first flight for awhile longer.
Man... Australia is looking better and better for next year. Even if I still have to pay US income taxes. >.<
Aren't US income taxes somewhere around 2 dollars per person?
All I can remember is that my sim city people would whine as fuck if I instituted a 1% income tax. I tried to just tell them to shut the fuck up and be satisfied I wasn't raising it to 51% and creating Sweden in the process.
I usually just told them to fuck off or else I'll unleash monsters again. Ungrateful bastards...
I'm not sure what it is, actually. Depends on the tax treaty in place. I asked my parents to ask their accountant for me, but they haven't gotten back to me yet. I'm pretty sure the US is one of the only countries in the world that taxes you on your income even if you don't live there.
This is what I'm trying to say. It's not legal to be randomly patted down without due cause.
Due cause is definitely not "denying permission to be put in the pornoscanner".
Then why is refusing to go through the scanner justification for not being permitted on your flight? Either it's suspicious or it isn't. If it is, then it must be accepted that the security forces have cause to check that person out further. If it isn't, then there isn't any reason not to let them on the flight.
It's just airport policy. You mistakenly believe that any form of sanity must be behind the reasoning that leads to any form of company policy.
Airport policy: if not scanned then not on flight. Not exceptions.
Has fuck-all to do with them being a security threat.
Which was my point in its entirety really. It's farcical precisely because it isn't consistent. They should either enforce it consistent and reasonable manner or stop pretending like it matters.
not supposed to protect the airport, supposed to protect the planes
also, why should they stop pretending like it matters?
because the real purpose is to make it seem like the planes are protected
terrorist attacks are such a low risk that hiring stair guards would save way more lives

I am always like whaaat when I hear some of you say you've never flown before

Well it's probably surprising to people in the United States as well. I've just never had the need. Even when we moved from California to New York we took a train.

I can't remember who said it, but I remember someone once saying that it is stupid for airport security people to be confiscating nail clippers, because once you get to the level of trying to stop someone capable of hijacking an aircraft with nail clippers you are trying to screen for the goddamn batman.

I really dislike the TSA.
The other day on the way home I was listening to the radio and this radio host read off a letter from a bunch of UCSF scientists about how the affects of the scanner aren't well understood and could actually be very dangerous.

Everyone thinks they are the cleverest guy who was clever. When it reality most people are the biggest mouth breather who ever lived.

Earned your red wings eh?

TSA has never caught anyone, and this article illustrates the reality that we've faced terrorism for years

But the screeners? Confiscating... nail clippers?
Another article.
The TSA doesn’t provide security. It provides security theater.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I use the same method for ripping on people in chat, judging on my infraction record, I'm not too good at it.
