Airport "Security"

Cajun at Mostly Cajun has a good rant about Airport Security and the TSA (A.K.A. Mineta's Morons): bq. Observations from traipsing around the country My little excursion off to school has given me a look at airport security yet again. I think I�d laugh if it wasn�t so aggravatingly pathetic. He outlines the trip and then makes some observations: bq. A few observations: bq. 1) They were X-raying shoes. Every passenger had to take off his/her shoes and pass them through the scanner. The shoe thing, folks, has BEEN done. Talk about the US military fighting the last war� TSA is looking for the last terrorist they missed. bq. 2) I knew better than to bring my Swiss Army knife which is normally constantly in my pocket ... ... The idea of a plane-full of compliant passengers idly allowing a terrorist to hijack a plane with a box cutter are past. Besides, there are other deadly objects that will pass through security undetected. Even a plain, ordinary credit card is a dangerous weapon in the right hands. The dangerous part is the MIND. He goes on and raises a couple other very good points. Interesting reading. bq.
