@Young_Jun: And how would a person set of an internal bomb? What technology would be needed in order to cause, as you've stated, a hypothetical mule bomber to be successful? Is there any precedence of this type of action?

@James Del: James. Finally a voice of reason.

@Matthew Weflen: and this is new or different from any other form of government run regulation how?

@Kingteddybear: Ben's quote has been circulated a lot these days in response to recent events with TSA. I guess my only response is if it's applicable in todays world within this area?

@Xenarian: exactly. TSA is damned if they do and damned if they don't.

@Xacor: There's a term for drug runners called 'mules' where men and women swallow sealed capsules of drugs so they can cross into and out of the USA to make and receive deliveries. This is a known security violation and something that multiple law enforcement agencies including TSA have been trying to circumvent for…

@Heliophage: Helio, if your father works for TSA either as a directing official or TSO then he should know you can't safeguard everything and can only account for every possible known threat and development a mechanism that reduces the likelihood of a security breach occurring at the benefit of the consumer group as a…

@joshdestardi001: Yup, I'm a sissy and proud of it for not crying for having to spend an extra few minutes having my body blown with jets of air and scanned before getting on a plane if it improves my fellow travelers and my safety. Silly me.

@BrknPheonix: Does every reactive safety measure leave us less off then we were before? So reacting to our reduced ability to car accidents during the rain by developing windshield wiper-blades for cars was a waste of time due to it being a reactive response?

@techinfo001: All good points, which is why I don't complain or fight TSOs when I travel for work domestically and internationally for more then 80% of the year. I do what's asked of me and every other traveler because I know that those 21,000 airplanes on any given day stay in the sky thanks to their constant efforts.

@PortableGoogle: There's a huge difference between adopting a proven form of security screening that's been around for almost as long as we've had organized law enforcement to suggesting a cavity search per air traveler is even remotely worth implementing.

@JAlexoid: Basing your opinion that these procedures are flawed based off a hypothetical technology is pointless. You can't safeguard the public with an ideal or better idea. Sometimes to most effective action is the most simplistic and depending on computers and technology to think, act and solve all of our problems…

@gizgizgiz: Yes, I would because so long as I have nothing to hide why should I care?

@goodwood8: If you have an answer for how TSA can account for every known and unknown security risk by all means you should share this amazing answer all solution with them and the rest of the world. I never said these new procedures could or would catch every possible threat but in its most basic form something is…

all the people whining about the new TSA screening processes and how this is a such a 'huge invasion of privacy' and these policies should be abolished will also be the same people first in line to raise hell about how a successful terrorist event was able to occur and these policies could have prevented it and where…
