Don't Fly If You Just Had Surgery!

mcgrew writes "The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the TSA is now worried about surgically implanted bombs. Are they trying to get everyone to stop flying entirely? I know there's no way they'd get me in an airliner these days. I'll drive, even though it is far, far more dangerous."

This was the logical end

This was the logical end of this stupidity. Face it folks, you can't be 100% safe, no matter how many liberties you give up.

It was precisely what the terrorists wanted in the first place..

Stop with the script reading, please... With its credibility in the shitter, it's what the government wanted in the first place. They had to use the terrorism angle to get us wimps to go long without questioning anything and distract attention away form its other abuses. Anybody who disagreed was immediately tagged.. Worked like a charm.. Exploitation of natural instincts always does

They hated us for our way of life

You still don't get it.

Noone hates you for "your way of life".

They hate you because of the things your government has done and is still doing.

No, they should be disbanded and we should go back to the old security methods. They are clearly just security theater.

What about a butt-bomb?

[jasno]

They've been ignoring the threat of butt-bombs for years now, even though a terrorist actually used that technique in 2009: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article6862247.ece

They also continue to ignore the fact that a liquid ban is ineffective when several travelers could combine their 3oz containers past the security checkpoint.

We reinforced the cabin doors, and that's all we ever needed to do to prevent another 9/11. The fact that we've allowed our government to waste billions while molesting innocent citizens is just sickening.
