Position Filled!

Thanks to everyone else for applying!!!!

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.
 
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.


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?

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......

This is exactly what should be done!!! Great point
 
Contract it out to the Israelis. And implement Crewpass. And screen non-crew airport employees like, for example ... "baristas."

Somewhere I remember hearing that it was an Israeli company that was under contract to provide security at the Amsterdam airport where fruit of the boom guy got thru.

This would create job losses at the TSA. This would also be an admittance that the TSA has thrown billions of dollars away.

It is a gov't agency, pissing away billions of dollars is in their charter.

As far as the ACLU they are in a catch 22 against nude pics or against molestation or against profiling? You can't have it all folks pick one to give up and let's move on with life. I vote for the profiles.
 
Every passenger shall go through an explosive detecting device/box, if the device detects any amont of explosive it detonates immediately, allowing non-rev traveler's a better experience.
 
I was told earlier today that the guy who owns or has a big investment in Rapiscan (the company who makes the "image" machines) has a or is related to a political position that is in charge with implementing the machines. Anyone have details on this?

This is why the Govt wants control of the internet. If they can control the information coming over the airwaves via FOX/CNN then they can manipulate(not like they aren't already) what gets disseminated to the masses, and people like you-who apparrently don't use other forms of media to get a broader picture and form your own opinion, stay in the dark and are less likely to cause a fuss-or start a revolt. Wake up People-this kind of revolving door stuff has been going on ad nauseum. Its time to clean house AND Senate! AGAIN! Just in case you need another current events example, lets take the food safety bill currently being discussed SB510, and have a look at Monsanto, GMO, Seed Patenting, and those who've been employed by monsanto, and served in govt- see if any of the names look familiar.

Talk about going of on a tangent................
 
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.

Too late. Look at what this poor 3-year old went through in CHA.
