TSA To Allow Laptops In Approved Bags
mnovotny writes "TIME is reporting that TSA will be allowing laptops in approved bags through security checkpoints. 'The new rules, announced Tuesday and set to take effect Aug. 16, are intended to help streamline the X-ray inspection lines. To qualify as "checkpoint friendly," a bag must have a designated laptop-only section that unfolds to lie flat on the X-ray machine belt and contains no metal snaps, zippers or buckles and no pockets.'" Don't you feel safer? I wish an independent 3rd-party group could get together and see what they could get through security without being arrested for the experiment. So little of what the TSA is doing is any more than illusion.
Apparently punctuation is difficult for our editors. I believe that was meant to be "So, little of what the TSA is doing is any more than illusion".
Usually they just write "I hate MS troll diaf stfu" with a goatse link.
The biggest issue is not the theater but the actors. You pay minimum wage, you get people that can't hack it at McDonald's.
All the current system can do is prevent you from easily getting a firearm or a large knife on an airplane by yourself.
I'm aging rapidly, I bought a new game and had no idea if my machine was good for it.
How dare you question a tsa bashing post... no karma for you!

If the TSA weren't such a bunch of assholes that guy in front of you wouldn't have so much trouble. It is pure idiocy to blame the victim instead of the perpetrator.
If you mod me Overrated, you are admitting that you have no penis.
You are a moron. Flying is a privilege and a nothing more than a convenience you pay for. Maybe it's your 'right' to walk around, but it sure as hell isn't flying or even driving.
