I'm profoundly neutral on this one. I don't think the terrorist will try to pull off another September 11. That was a one time deal, and remember, even the guys on UAL 93 said screw this, we're gonna fight back.
Now, I think you'll end up with a Richard Reid type situation, where someone ends up getting his ass thoroughly smoked.
But, I could see a mentally disturbed person trying to do some harm with scissors.
However, if we could get rid of this TSA nonsense and this helps do it, I'm fine with that. The fools who did the THIRD screening so I could fly to DCA from YYZ wanted to open up a wrapped lipstick which is a present until I got pissed and said, it's been through x-ray machines TWICE and here's the receipt, don't be an idiot.
The cop watching them said to me, hey, take it easy, man, and I said, well, officer, you tell me. It's lipstick. Here's the receipt. Is it really necessary to open it up?
No, it's not, sir.
Effing morons. If they all got their heads cut off, I don't know if we could tell the difference.
