Govt. Failed to "Connect the dots"

8 years and billions upon billions later and guess what? "The government failed to connect the dots?"

My question to you, was all the money worth it? Was all the additional hassle of removing your shoes, coats, etc. ? What about 3-1-1? Patriot act?

Why continue to abuse us law abiding citizens if they can't fix there problems first?

TSA: who told you that you had a right to free speech?

TSA special agents served subpoenas to travel bloggers Steve Frischling and Chris Elliott, demanding that they reveal who leaked the security directive to them...Frischling said he met with two TSA special agents Tuesday night at his Connecticut home for about three hours and again on Wednesday morning when he was forced to hand over his lap top computer. Frischling said the agents threatened to interfere with his contract to write a blog for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines if he didn't cooperate and provide the name of the person who leaked the memo.

The Odds of Airborne Terror

The Odds of Airborne Terror

...The odds of being on given departure which is the subject of a terrorist incident have been 1 in 10,408,947 over the past decade. By contrast, the odds of being struck by lightning in a given year are about 1 in 500,000. This means that you could board 20 flights per year and still be less likely to be the subject of an attempted terrorist attack than to be struck by lightning....

Should we trust TSA with Radiation & Our lives?

If you can't trust the people at Cedars-Sinai to properly operate a radiation producing machine...can you really trust TSA?

At one of the most famous hospitals in Los Angeles, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, 206 patients were exposed to 8 times the normal dose of radiation...

As a result of the higher dosing, patients were exposed to as many as 4 grays of radiation to the head, instead of the expected 0.5 grays.

No danger on Sunday flight — just an ill passenger

This is security & safety?

Armed officers on Sunday rushed aboard the same Detroit-bound flight that was attacked on Christmas Day....a businessman who was sick and posed no security threat....the perceived threat wasn't much of a danger — just an ill traveler who spent too much time in the bathroom.
