@tehsquish: Great points tehsquish! I've heard about and have looked into the Israeli factor and how it can and can't be applied to US air travel security.

@☆Giroro G66☆: Crack is wack mate, I say no to drugs and so should you. ^_^

@Go Vols!: I'd love to see your response to this needed 'change' should protests bring about more relaxed security screening procedures and a fully booked 747 explodes and it could have been avoided by a 2-3 minute body scan or pat down.

@espinha: I'm glad I'm not the only one out there who travels with the benefit of not only myself but all the others travelers in mind.

@Lite: an adventurer is me!: Well said.

@tehsquish: I think you and others are confusing being 'selfish' and acting up for ones rights with being 'lazy and entitled'. Americans want all the benefits of public safety and security when moving about the country and world but clearly there's a portion of the population not willing to do a damn thing to help…

@KWiP: Here here.

@openfly: Well said mate.

@hairysammoth: Clearly it was a widely successful protest by all the people who participated, delays it caused and havoc it showed TSA these new screenings have birthed. I guess people who are actually flying and going through these procedures compared to the people who never fly and are bitching simply for the stake…

@goodwood8: Comparing an unfair tax on goods and services by a foreign government claiming sovereignty over a country, people, and products it produces is a far cry from new security screening measures that take up no more then 2-5 minutes of a persons time and are designed with the greater safety of the entire…

@AugureTheCensored: Could you throw a bigger temper-tantrum if i paid you? Grow up mate.

Well put mate. It's all the cry babies who can't handle 2-3 minutes of security screening and act as if their lives will end should have have to suffer a body scan or pat down. Americans are lazy, entitled, and the biggest group of whiners on the face of the planet.

@Pierce Nichols: Um, wow.

@☆Giroro G66☆: I find your reference to the TSAs 'age' a clear example of age discrimination and highly suspect.

totally geeked out when i saw this ^_^

@Young_Jun: Interesting reading, thanks for the share mate! I still think for TSA to account for every type of threat, such as the ones listed in the article, would render the airline industry incapable of operating in any capacity.

@Young_Jun: broken link mate

@BrknPheonix: I guess based on that statement we should simply do away with any security screening measures since they have zero possibility of being successful and wait for a repeat of 9/11 before researching, designing, testing, vetting (for both consumer and government approval) and implementing security screening…

@☆Giroro G66☆: So I guess based on your assessment since nothing TSA does has any effect we should do away with any security screening processes at all and allow anyone to fly and bring with them or on their person anything they want?

@twiner: Can you show where the simple act of a 'pat down' has been proven to not prevent injury to a police officer after arresting or searching a suspect? If you can then I think you could successful argue the removal of this long-standing security screening technique utilized by every major and minor law…
