The Futility of the TSA

This video of Adam Savage (mythbusters) is priceless and demonstrates that this whole frisking thing is pointless.

We, or rather the TSA, is reacting to the way terrorists have acted in the past (and since the last attempt included a bomb up the nether regions, I can hardly wait to see how they react to THAT).

Profiling, while such a loaded word, is the difference between the USA's lack of success and Israel's success in making the skies safe.

When are we going to learn?

My son mentioned that Tech does a moderate frisking to eliminate taking flasks into the game - but they don't check pockets or boots, and it is still possible to get loaded during a game.

If you can get a flask into a football game, a bomb up your nether regions, well - it never pays to underestimate dedication.

As Always, George Will says it better. And so does Martin Schram. It isn't that we are against safety, but when the TSA goes after children and cancer survivors rather than profiling, forget it.
