If they don't want to treat the people who pay their fat asses with the respect due them, let them go out in The World and get a real job.
Ok, so just because we pay their salaries with our taxes we should be able to complain sufficiently to be allowed to bypass security? That's a great idea. Then maybe I can whine enough to be allowed to slip a gun through the next time I fly.
Personally, I'm all for strip searching every individual getting on a plane, and then placing all passengers in straitjackets and restraints for the duration of the flight to actually be able to ensure SECURITY onboard the aircraft.
The TSA is not the airline...it is not part of the system. It is a government knee jerk feel good program.
Right...You're good with authoritarian tyranny, as along as its equally applied.
Some proponent of the old school republic you turned out to be.

I don't complain to bypass security...i complain about having to go through security and about the idiots who ARE the security.

I agree it's a feel-good program. So I assume that you would prefer something like what I suggested, which gives the program actual TEETH and the ability to do the job, right?

So you want to just be able to walk onto the plane with no security at all? Is that what I'm reading? If not, then what would be your prefered style of security system?
Oh, the horror!
It seems that the TSA is trying out some behavioral profiling after all. I just do not get why complaining about stupidity is a sign that you might be doing something wrong. This seems like another excuse to take away our rights, and a way to formalize "contempt of cop" into suspicious behavior.
So far as I'm concerned "contempt of cop" should be an arrestable FELONY.
It's a very simple matter....
IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE SYSTEM, DON'T FLY!!!!!
syrenn, so basically you want to be able to bypass the system because you fly a lot. I believe that's for work, per our prior conversations. I'm sorry but while I'll agree on the idea of profiling for ADDITIONAL screening, and pitting much better trained and more qualified people on staff, I do not believe ANYONE should be able to just wisk their way through a security checkpoint. Not even an armed pilot or Air Marshal.

No i don't think you should be able to just whisk past security. What aggravates the fucking shit out of me is they will strip search some kid or some old person in a wheel chair and let what i would think of a threat waltz right through...god forbid you stopped THEM and be accused of profiling.
If they are going to stop people that look like a threat...then DO IT! I dont give a rats ass if that means striping every person that looks like they may be middle eastern...to damn bad it was their home boys that got them to where they are.
I used to love flying. Not anymore.

See, you're picking out one particular group. I understand why and to a degree agree with it. The problem is (and I'm going to go a little far out to illustrate the point here).... Let's say that the TSA issues an order that anyone who DOES NOT have a full facial birthmark will be strip searched before getting on a plane. Well then, the groups that are looking to do evil things will be out there trying to recruit people like ME because they know we can more easily get through security.
What we need is a system that strip searches EVERYONE getting on the plane, and has a 100% surity of their identity before they're even allowed through the security portal. EVERYONE should be considered a potential threat.

I don't fly much, but honestly is it really all that difficult to get through these security checkpoints without a major hastle? I haven't been through an airport since the new scanners have been installed, but under the old system I never had an issue. You don't carry anything odd or suspicious. You do what you're asked to do. You don't make trouble. Is it REALLY that difficult folks?
Oh i understand what you are saying. And at this point they would be fools not to be recruiting people who would not fit a ME profile.
I agree if they are going to search, then search everyone.
How do i leave the big boobs at home?
