Bruce Schneier On Airport Security
the4thdimension writes "Bruce Schneier has an opinion piece on CNN this morning that illustrates his view on airport security. Given that he has several books on security, his opinion carries some weight. In the article, Bruce discusses the rarity of terrorism, the pitfalls of security theater, and the actual difficulty surrounding improving security. What are your thoughts? Do you think that we can actually make air travel (and any other kind of travel, for that matter) truly secure?"
How are they supposed to identify the bad guy in that split second?
He will be the brownish-blackish male speaking bad English or chanting/babbling in some foreign tongue.

Why were you hoping that?
He actually had very little new to say, and nothing we haven't seen before. No new ideas, just the same old regurgitation of leftist dogma. Act like sheep and pray no one will slaughter you.
Yeah, there are things that are done to excess, and other things not done well.
But waiting till a single incident almost happens to scream "failure" while ignoring the fact that no additional airplanes have hit buildings since 2001, and then claiming simultaneously that the lull was do to nobody wanting to attack, and that our protection efforts are useless, seems hardly convincing. Especially when followed up with suggestions that we change our foreign policy to appease those who "don't want to attack".
Sig Battery depleted. Reverting to safe mode.
