WHILE THE CURRENT AIRPORT SECURITY SEARCH IS NOT PERFECT LETS NOT LOSE SIGHT OF THEIR ULTIMATE PURPOSE. PREVENTING THE NEXT 9/11. THE SEARCH PROCESS WILL BE IMPROVED IN TIME.
A LITTLE COMMON SENSE MUST BE USE BY BOTH SIDES.
LETS ALL REMEMBER AND THINK ABOUT THIS,WE ARE AT WAR: IF THE CURRENT AIRPORT SEARCH PROCEDURE WAS IN PLACE PRIOR TO 9/11 IT MAY HAVE PREVENTED OR UNCOVERED THE TERROR PLOT AND ANY HIDDEN WEAPONS.
IN MOST CASES I THINK IT IS AN INSULT TO THE 9/11 VICTIMS TO COMPLAIN. WE ASK OUR MILITARY TO DEFEND OUR COUNTRY, RISK THEIR LIVES AND LIMB AND LEAVE THEIR FAMILIES BEHIND FOR MANY MONTHS BUT WE CANNOT SACRIFICE FOR A BRIEF AIRPORT SEARCH?
OUR ENEMIES ARE LAUGHING AT HOW WEAK WE HAVE BECOME.
I BET ALL COMPLAINTS WILL STOP INSTANTLY IF THERE IS AN AIRLINE,AIRPORT ATTACK?
REGARDING PROFILING: WE MUST PROFILE. WE PROFILE EVERYTHING ELSE. WE PROFILE LAB TESTS TO DETERMINE THEIR VALUES,MADISON AVE AND MANUFACTURERS PROFILE THEIR MARKETING STRATEGY ETC. GRANTED, WE MUST HIRE MORE QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED TSA AGENTS AND ADOPT SOME OF THE ISRAELI SECURITY PROCEDURES. ANYTHING LESS IS A FALSE SENSE OF FINANCIAL SAVING.
I AM A RETIRED PEACE OFFICER OF 32 YEARS AND HAVE TRAVELED TO OVER 45 COUNTRIES.
I KNOW SECURITY AND AIR AND SEA TRAVEL.AGAIN. LET'S USE A LITTLE COMMON SENSE.
SINCERELY,
