He’s right about the security theater aspects of TSA, but his proposed solution is just as unworkable as the current TSA system.
We need to think of the airport as a “clean room” where everything is sterile. Everything that goes into the “clean room” must be thoroughly examined and thus “sterilized,” so as to not contaminate the area. That means that we need to look at each and every person and each and every thing that is brought into the airport. Period. If someone or something leaves the sterile environment, then it needs to be re-examined. No exceptions.
We have facilities like that already. They are called prisons and people successfully smuggle contraband into them all the time.
If you can’t keep guns, drugs and cell phones out of prisons what makes anyone think they can secure an airport?
Besides, who wants to live in a prison?
Yeah, I was disappointed when I heard what it is he thinks is the solution. More harrassment for more people, instead of just pointing it out for the false illusion it is.
And on that note, the “Protecting the American Dream” line on his website made me laugh. The guy wouldn’t know it if it bit him in the ass.
He’s got his own dream-place up in Place County, where it’s not too uncommon (especially for a rootin’ tootin’ Flyboy) to actually be able to get a carry permit in California – he’s kinda an “Only One” too…
But the means of stopping a terrorist still eludes him while the focus remains on stopping or finding a terrorist’s tools. What good is that? “Hey look, a bomb!” *KA-BOOM* Just finding the tool or device is not the answer.
Oops, Placer County (placer, like in stream-bed gold-mining).
