FI Geniuses, if you were the head of TSA?

[Kharma Police]

Just curious if the President tapped you to replace Janet Napolitano aka "Big Sis", what would you do in response to the current airport security controversy with passengers?

 

[Sandhawk]

I'd start by putting you on the "No FLy List"....

That's fine, care to answer the question?

No security. Profile, profile, profile.

 

[GogglesPisano]

Contract it out to the Israelis. And implement Crewpass. And screen non-crew airport employees like, for example ... "baristas."

I like it, however ACLU, ACLU, ACLU.

I have a better solution, it is much cheaper and way better than wasting money on these stupid scanners and invasive pat downs. I don't understand why our stupid gov't has to look high tech when there has always been a low tech solution to detecting a hidden explosive. The gov't could have spent the money on training explosive material sniffing dogs and deploy them at the security lines. They can detect explosives from miles away, and even hidden places, heck the military has been using dogs for that kind of work for years, makes perfect sense to use them at the airports for the same purpose. You place them right at the security point entrance, if they don't sense anything, then you proceed to the metal detector as usual, way better solution and less expensive, plus no patdowns, problem solved......

As Labatt said - Profile, profile, profile.

Backscatter machines - GONE

Then, I would make EVERY TSA agent go thru the detectors and have their belongings scanned everytime they accessed the SIDA. They are just as likely to smuggle something thru to the SIDA as anyone else.

Crewpass - Implement

Mechs - make something similar to crewpass for them.

Just curious if the President tapped you to replace Janet Napolitano aka "Big Sis", what would you do in response to the current airport security controversy with passengers?

Policy Memo to All Agencies:

In the early stages of the security process the goal is to identify a threat (or non-threat) before it gets to the airport. With KNOWN trusted agents (uniformed pilots) mucking up the security line, adding to the overall chaos by line jumping, then refusing the AIT which alarms the general public ("if they're refusing xray, maybe I should too"), it just makes the TSA agents' jobs harder, making it easier for a real, actual threat to get through. We must get the pilots out of the way of the TSA agents who are our last line of defense.

Therefore, effective immediately, pilots are banned from the public's 100% bag-check security line check point. Airlines and airports will have to implement one the many already TSA-approved alternate means of security for pilots because they will no longer be allowed through the passenger checkpoints. CrewPass is just one of the currently approved methods, but there are others. Pick one and use it.

Airlines and airports have been asked to work with their local TSA to determine the method appropriate for each location. However, be advised, if pilots are going to get to their planes, they will not get there via the general publics' screening point.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Sincerely,

Adminstrator
Department of Rational Thought

1. Implement CREWPASS immediately.
2. Increase use of "trusted travelers" immediately.
3. Bid out security to private screeners with federal oversight...No more federal imployees.
4. Profile...Call it "behavioral profiling" to keep the PC crowd happy. Granny and 3 year olds of ANY RACE don't fit the profile.
5. Stop looking for needles in a haystack. You can't keep sharp objects off of airplanes. Just look for bombs and guns.

1. profile

2. paycuts and pension loss for all TSA screeners

3. drop more bombs in/on Afghanistan - women/children/cats/dogs/goldfish they are all fair game, just like WW2, I don't care kill them all until Osama and his gang are gone. On the way home we can stop off in Korea and then Vietnam and finish off that situation.

4. build giant oil fields in Iraq and Kuwait for US oil only, tell Iraq and Kuwait people to suck it up as they owe us big time

5. tell Saudi Arabia to go F' themselves, not buy oil from them (see number 4) and watch their "kingdom" dissolve back into the desert.

6. tell companies that hide money offshore (GE, EXXON ect.) to evade US taxes that they better fork it up (to lower individual taxes) or get the f' out of this free country that allows them to make money in the first place.

7. foreign students wanting attend college in the US then return to their original countries pay 3X the tuition. Money from this is to be used to send US citizens to college free or at a reduced tuition.

8. tell china to stop flooding the market with cheap labor and stepping all over basic human rights in return for quick expansion. In fact all that money we owe them, guess what, we will call it even. they owe us as it was our money in the first place that allowed then to step out of the stone age 50 years ago on the path to a modern society. Not to mention if it wasn't for the US they would be speaking Japanese.

9. Publicly shoot in the kneecaps all robber baron CEO's that screwed over their company employees while making off with obscene millions.

Pay Al and Jessie off and the ACLU goes away. Profiling works. I have experienced it in Israel and they didn't have to feel me up to ensure their security.

If the aclu hasn't come out against the naked pictures and molestation, I have a feeling they couldn't/wouldn't do anything about the profiling.

You're about 7 years too late regarding the ACLU and passenger profiling.

The ACLU is against the pictures. Fortunately the National Endowment For The Arts is a big supporter of them. Gov't grants for all travellers!

That is already the case. Not sure if it is 3 times higher than the "standard" tuition though ... LearLove when are you running for office?

This is exactly what should be done!!! Great point
