With Thanksgiving coming up the security measures at airports is the hot issue.
Recent information about the full body scans has created a huge backlash with travelers. The TSA assured us that there was no way to save and transmit the images. It turns out that this is bullshit. They most certainly can! Even the manual states that once you get an image you are to save it and then transmit it to the TSA central operations office so that this function may be confirmed as active.
The images are very vague they said. More bullshit.
Passengers who do not feel comfortable with the scan may opt for a security pat down. BUT......there are numerous complaints now that the pat downs are more of an intrusive, if not even explicit groping as opposed to a simple police style search.
On top of all this fervor the TSA is giving all but a free pass to Muslims who coplain that it violates their religious beliefs but have no problem all but strip searching 4 year old kids and elderly women!!!!!
Now I ask you, how many elderly women have attempted to blow up a plane? NONE!
How many 4 year old kids? NONE!
How many middle aged businessmen? NONE!
Black, white, asian or hispanic families traveling together? NONE!
Youthful to middle aged men of distinctly middle eastern descent? Damn near all of the attempts were committed by those who fit this bill!!!!!!
Now I am not saying that all of the aforementioned groups excepting the arabic men be given a free pass, BUT......the concentration should not be on those who have no history of such activities.
The screenings should be directed toward a greater percentage of the common perpetrators of these acts and also to those who are exhibiting suspicious behaviors regardless of their social/ethnic appearance.
Should there be screening of a random selection of varied subjects? Well sure!
This bullshit stems from the PC crowd who want to appease everyone but average Joe.
Any thoughts?
