.... but everybody's panties were in a bunch because of the possibility these fucks would not get paid and will call in sick en masse. Go figure.

Yup I'm embarrassed at our airport security which is only designed to hassle the law abiding fliers and would do absolutely nothing to thwart a would be bad guy from storming the airport and shooting up the place. As we saw a few years back in Ft. Lauderdale.

Here we have some hulking 400lb guy standing in the XRay door bottle necking the line, barking out commands to dehumanize the fliers. "Remove your belts, shoes, and wallets" Like we're on our way to Auschwitz. It's repugnant and disgusting. If I were a bad guy, He would be the first guy shot, then that bad guy would have no imediate pushback as he would continue to empty at least three clips before Cops from other terminals would make it there. It's just a dog and Pony show.

In Japan, Peru and Malaysia you can get through the terminal pretty easy, no body cavity searches, you don't have to take off your belt and shoes, and they don't pop you in the Microwave for extra crispness.

What they do have is every wall has armed guards with automatic weapons and a clear unobstructed view of the whole terminal. They would get a drop on a guy with a gun the minute he pulled it out. It's a bit intimidating, there's at least 6 guys with Machine guns in every terminal.

American airport security isn't intimidating to bad guys, it's only inconvenient for the Travelers.

The Theater of the Fist! Crisco stock just went back up when the guv went back in business.

I just bought this shirt. I had a girlfriend who got assaulted by these fuckers about a decade ago.

TSA is an offshoot of the Patriot Act which itself was an offshoot of the 9/11 false flag.

TSA is the one place where I'll use my words like a complete ass hole. I'm not breaking any law. I'm polite with police officers, but TSA cannot arrest me unless they find something and they won't with me. Guess who they bring in to arrest someone.... the police.

They try to pat me down, I just say no. I'm going to the bar by my gate. I went through your metal detector and already did everything requested. A random pat down will never find anything. You scanned my bag. No need or reason to touch me. I'm wearing shorts and a t shirt most the time. Unless my junk is bulging you can just look at me and know I'm not hiding anything.

Other passengers are the best security. I'm always looking out for shady people. Bachelorette vacation parties are the worst. They get hammered before the flight and all the cackling and yelling. Oh and children of some parent that doesn't do shit when their kid is screaming and don't know how to calm them down. My wife literally had to calm down someone else's kid on our flight to Mexico. More worried about that than a bomb.
