The Consumer Traveler reports:
In fact, these new machines have already been rendered obsolete by terrorists who are packing explosives up their anus. Don’t laugh. This technique has already been tested with lethal effect in the assassination a Saudi prince. The whole-body scanners can not detect that kind of hidden explosive. I only worry about TSA’s coming anus-scanning system. I’m sure it is in the works.
So, the scanners are only to increase the control of the State, pay off the big corporations that make the machines, and of course, for the airport guys to have some fun seeing you naked.
Oh, and the solution for stop being attacked is simple: (1), stop bombing the sh** out of the Middle East, and (2), let the airlines do the security.
Simple, huh?
As onerous as the TSA is becoming with the conservative media and their fear-mongering, I don’t think anal bum scanners will be in a US airport any time soon. Even if the next muslim to celebrate ka-boom does so via an anally-delivered package, I can’t see the US public going for it. Perhaps that would lead to a rise in affordable charter aviation?
#10 Does a full search afterwards serve you? Don’t tell me you left your brain in 2009.
#13 Let me know when you get visited by ponies flying over rainbows.
#19 Who asked you? When are you going to fulfill your threat and leave already!
Let me help…
Scanners, like air marshals are not and never advertised as being fool proof. They are there to minimize and prevent a terrorist attack and there to provide the air traveling public a sense of security.
Here’s another revelation but don’t be alarmed. Door dead bolts will not prevent an intruder from entering your home.
Please increase the bombing in the middle east!! Bomb the shit out of the shit there otherwise they will come here!! How can you be so naive??? The solution to the problem is to eliminate to enemy not pussyfoot around those murderers. I suspect the gut who wrote this article is either a bleeding hard blind liberal or a member or supporter of the Muslim brotherhood. Lets see if you have the courage to publish this??
Get drag queens to work in airport security looking for men with suspicious bulges.
Dear Cretins (esp #3),
Let’s kill everybody but you and your friends. That’s the logical conclusion to your solution, right? You certainly are the enlightened future of the world. Christ calls you up for advice.
Violence begets violence and does not solve it.
But that fact escapes both you and the simple minds who blow up other people thinking it solves something.
There’s never going to be a 100% effective security measure. It all comes down to how you want to live. If you fly there’s a better probability of dying in an accident caused by improper maintenance, than in a terrorist attack. It has always been true, even back in the 60′s and 70′s when hijackings were commonplace. The US government needs to maintain a context of fear to keep it’s citizens motivated to fight unjustifiable wars.
How boring. The “usual suspects” show up with their ridiculous, hateful, ignorant, bombs cure everything, bulls–t.
How nice to see other people post today. Some seem to be able to actually think. They must be here because they’re off from work due to the holiday.
I do agree with the comments about useless, expensive equipment, though. Dogs are much cheaper and do an immensely better job, and if they get tired or bored, get more dogs.
A happy and healthy new year to all, even the jerks.
So… what is a reasonable description of the terrorists we are looking for? We do have an idea of what to look for you know. Why don’t we concentrate our efforts on those suspects and give the majority of statistically safe passengers a break?
Read the link in post #12. The Israelis can teach us a thing or two about effective security.
Wanna deter terrorist and bod explosives, circulate a picture of that asshole naked who just burnt his dick and balls off.
#23 What an excellent job you’re doing. You’ve been promoted to Corporal Sheeple.
#24 Ah, a lefty loon trying to be sarcastic pointing at the other extreme of absurdity. Close, but no cigar.
#26 Get in the same bag as #24.
After the Whizzinator incident, Simply seeing a guys junk on a screen isn’t going to be good enough. The TSA needs to hire a ton of women to give a full handjob to every male flyer to make sure he’s functional and not just sporting an explosive prosthesis. Same thing goes for boobs, they could be fake and need to be fully massaged and checked out.
Since doctors can’t cure all disease, why have them?
So what are they gonna do when the terrorist decide to have explosives surgically installed, if you’re suicidal I imagine that it wouldn’t matter. Xray every passenger? No that’s no good. I guess one solution would be to heavily sedate every passenger and stick them in specially designed life support capsules then load them up like so much cord wood, no meals, no stewardess, no movie, no drinks, no peanuts. They could even wait to wake you up once your past customs and security. The way things are going I’d say the future might be like that.
“Oh, and the solution for stop being attacked is simple: (1), stop bombing the sh** out of the Middle East, and (2), let the airlines do the security.
Simple, huh?”
Simply ignorant. Let me explain the rules again. Convert or die infidel.
Yeah I know. You can’t believe anyone would kill somebody else for religious reasons despite the millions of people that have been killed for religious reasons.
#35 No, I think he’s right. Rushdie would have avoided all those problems if he refrained from publishing the Satanic Verses. The Danish cartoonist is just a moron and deserves death for lampooning Mohammed
And if they turn up the juice it can act as an “active denial system”!
#9, it has never been tried.
Don’t kid yourselves. You will be totally naked like this unsuspecting young woman.
If you see this woman please tell her she is naked on the Internet.
#12 +1
But couldn’t work here. Most any high school graduate in Israel (or, not to be racist, Scotland or Hungary or …) could be trained to do any of the six levels. Here in North America, people that competent are busy writing themselves million dollar annual bonus checks.
As G. Gordon Liddy said to Vicky Gabereau, “What would I need a gun for? I could kill you with a ball-point pen.” It’s for show.
