Somewhere, Osama Bin Ladin is Laughing His AssOff
November 20, 2010
For years, the idea of &;flying naked&; to show security folks you weren&;t a terrorist was a joke. It&;s not a joke anymore, as the TSA (and more importantly, the political powers above them) feels justified in invasive search, groping and near-sexual assault to &;prove&; passengers aren&;t carrying bombs stuffed up their body cavities.
I&;m no Sarah Palin fan, but this tweet &;TSA: it’s politically incorrect 2 “profile” anyone when natl second is issue?We profile individuals/suspects in other situations!Profile away&; actually seems right on.
Asking people questions and watching their reactions seems much more sensible (and works for the Israelis) rather than what Bruce Schneir calls &;security theatre.&;
