I had a similar thought in Denver International this year. As I stand in the security line surrounded by 500 of my closest strangers, I'm looking at the 2nd level and going hmm. If I was a jihadi, a few grenades and a couple of mag dumps from up there would cause a ton of damage. And there's no screening to get up there.mamabearCali wrote:schufflerbot wrote:...and to those who feel that this is a 'security show' and not effective, is that honestly your opinion??
what would you rather see as a solution?
Sir, if a terrorist wanted to take a out a ton of people he would just detonate a bomb in the security line. If they were SO worried about the liquid why are they just throwing them in a trash can beside the security line. If they actually thought that a person had a bomb do you think that they would be handling it and manipulating a potentially explosive device with nothing but a dirty pair of gloves inbetween them and the device. That is how I KNOW this is security theater.
But yes, the security theater is keeping us all perfectly protected.
As one of our overlords said after the shoe bomber was only subdued on the plane as he tried to ignite his shoe, "The system worked!".
