• There is no other way to inter­pret it: The TSA is say­ing clearly that they can’t pre­vent ter­ror­ists from get­ting explo­sives on air­planes, but by god, they’ll make sure those planes explode only when the TSA says it’s okay.
• Giz­modo writer Joel John­son • Regard­ing the Trans­porta­tion & Secu­rity Admin­is­tra­tion’s deci­sions on secu­rity. The tech site gath­ered every log­i­cal thought on the Inter­net regard­ing secu­rity restric­tions and came to a con­clu­sion every­one was pussy­foot­ing around – air­line secu­rity is a joke. Instead of fight­ing ter­ror­ism in a way that actu­ally works, the gov­ern­ment has spent bil­lions of dol­lars try­ing to cover every pos­si­ble sce­nario, when the like­li­hood of a ter­ror­ist attack actu­ally hap­pen­ing to the aver­age per­son is slim to none, based on sim­ple logic. In other words, kids, the TSA is wast­ing everyone’s time and money by forc­ing us to take off our shoes or do any of the other expen­sive stuff they do. We’re with Giz­modo on this one. Fire the TSA. If you want to actu­ally stop ter­ror­ism, focus on intel­li­gence, Obama. source
