Not often...because they know what we're looking for and so <i>do something else</i>. If we've got naked body scanners, they can implant undetectable butt bombs and boob bombs. If you don't like taking off your shoes, just imagine how little you'll enjoy being told to touch your toes while a TSA employee approaches you from behind with a dipstick.Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-84958563726195603072010-08-06T08:45:07.108-05:002010-08-06T08:45:07.108-05:00If we just did what the Israeli's do and have ...If we just did what the Israeli's do and have some really good armed guys on every flight, we could eliminate half the stupid stuff they do at the airport these days.Suzynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-85021429956607374622010-08-06T07:06:24.115-05:002010-08-06T07:06:24.115-05:00I'm just a love machine (whoop whoo) and I won...I'm just a love machine (whoop whoo) and I won't work for nobody but you.Buzz Bannisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18381566328347959069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-76295007955072969152010-08-06T06:22:38.461-05:002010-08-06T06:22:38.461-05:00Call it what you like, but, with regard to air tra...Call it what you like, but, with regard to air travel, the 911 terrorists achieved their objective with me. Flying is now such a pain in the ass that I absolutely refuse to consider it as a mode of travel. I will not take off my shoes to be scanned, I will not submit to a "full body scan". I will not package any liquids into 3 oz bottles. They won. A freedom has been surrendered for the phantom of safety.<br /><br />Why phantom? I'm a statistician, for the most part, and we statisticians carry a couple precepts in the field of statistical process control. One is that if an individual is found to exist in a <i>sample</i>, there are <i>many</i> in the "universe" or population from which the sample was taken. The underwear bomber and others that have been discovered and apprehended <i>after boarding and flying</i> are these individuals in the universe, and constitute statistical proof that there are many, many more as yet undetected. Another is that <i>100% inspection is effective in detecting only 80% of the concerns</i>. There you have Homeland Security and the TSA in a nutshell.<br /><br /><i>"This is Captain Uppendiare, and I'd like to welcome you aboard Flight 931 to that other place. Please don't be alarmed by the strange vibrations in the aircraft - it is only the people on board shuddering in fear..."</i>Emmentaler Limburgerhttp://pateratic.comnoreply@blogger.com
