FI Geniuses, if you were the head of TSA?

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.

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 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.

Arm all crew members. Arm all PAX. In fact, pass out the pistols at boarding, pick 'em up as they de-plane.

full profiling. If you look like a character from the bar in Star Wars, you don't get on the plane

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.
