    Boy am I glad they’re making sure a terrorist with a bomb can’t get onto a plane to kill a lot of people packed together in a crowded place.

          Well, that’s not TSAs direct job, so they don’t care.

            They’re called TSA, not G(round)SA or A(irport)SA or… for a reason!

            It has, in Belgium: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Brussels_bombings Maybe it wasn’t close enough to scare the 'muricans?

              I’m honestly not too sure USAmericans believe in Belgium.

              It’s like global warming or some such.

              I was sort of surprised that bombing didn’t have more effects than it did. It really did seem to highlight some issues.

            How about onion layers of security checks that start about a mile from your gate? That way the bad guys are only in the outer lines where passenger density is still low…

      Let’s concentrate all the people in one place so that they can’t bring weapons onto a plane. Nothing could go wrong…

      Just a half dozen bags dropped off in the course of 10 minutes.

      Terror is so easy to accomplish via random crowds and isolated unprotected infrastructure that it makes one wonder if any of it was really terror.
