Comments on: The TSA loves you http://www.homelandstupidity.us/2007/02/14/the-tsa-loves-you/ Protect yourself from government gaffes, bureaucratic blunders and incumbent incompetence Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:25:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Highlander http://www.homelandstupidity.us/2007/02/14/the-tsa-loves-you/#comment-13665 Highlander Sun, 02 Mar 2008 02:24:10 +0000 http://www.homelandstupidity.us/2007/02/14/the-tsa-loves-you/#comment-13665 The quote was: "Quite frankly, I’d rather see the screening done by military personnel with a couple of big dudes sporting MP-5’s at each checkpoint." So, a couple of "big dudes sporting MP-5’s." Yeah, that ought do it. Sure. And, just for the fun of it, let's have them occasionally spray and pray the whole freaking crowd too, right? Just for effect ... I mean, what the hey: What good is airport security if no one gets shot occasionally? Or perhaps even violently thrashed in front of everyone else? Say, look: I have an =EVEN BETTER= idea: Dump the lot of them, and bring airports back to the time of where everyone could carry his/her own firearm. And since everyone would be carrying concealed, no one who know ~just who~ was carrying. And anyone attempting to play stupid hi-jacker would get a good dose of heavy metal poisoning. Of course it would also be a requirement to employ frangible bullet rounds to keep from shooting out the windows or aircraft skin. Then we could save a bundle on taxes by not having to pay the dolts doing the TSA bit, or air marshals, or ... You get the picture. The quote was:

These TSA people are the same pre-911 McDonalds and Wal-Mart rejects. Poorly educated people landing feel good jobs with authority they would otherwise never be allowed to have. Sure, there are some legit people out there but, they vary city to city each having it's own set of rules. Some airports you breeze through, some you get shaken down for toothpaste and eye drops Quite frankly, I’d rather see the screening done by military personnel with a couple of big dudes sporting MP-5′s at each checkpoint.

And your remark that they are here to 'protect us' is --at best-- ludicrous! In fact, the only thing those idiots have stopped from happening is flights departing on time! And further? The =ONLY= terrorists are the TSA type playing their stupid idiot Der Fuhrer games. You know: Little hitlers. Oh, and one other thing: Saving your butt from crashing? Yeah, right. Dear ‘T’,

But they are trying to protect us. Whether or not you think the rules are dumb they are there for our safety. And you may not feel like there is a threat out there. but remember right now we are over there in the "terrorist" territory. When our soldiers finally pull out of there and theres no one left to attack on the homefront theyll start to come back here to terrorize us. Then maybe we will all appreciate airport security a lil more. Until then TSA can have my toothpaste. If it saves my butt from crashing so be it. I do wish I bought some stock in zip-lock though hahaha we all may not like TSA. But they are trying to protect us. Whether or not you think the rules are dumb they are there for our safety.

At the beginning of the month, the Mr. and I went to Argentina, Australia, and Japan. We bought wine in Argentina and carried it on to Australia. Bought wine in Australia and carried both bottles on to Japan. We became so relaxed about our carry on luggage that we were surprised when leaving Tokyo that we had to repack our bags. We had forgotten that the 2 bottles of wine were "dangerous" in the eyes of the TSA. As a frequent traveler, I am pretty accustomed to the BS that is U.S. airport security.
