Not much to study really. In WWII Germany and Japan (and just as importantly their citizens) came to the realization that to continue on their path of war and agression would lead to their extinction. For the past 70 years they have lived in peace. They realized that Live in Peace or Perish was real and made a rational choice.
The same rational decision making kept the USA (and West), and the USSR from exterminating each other in a nuclear war. We both realized that we would perish.
The same logic needs to be imposed on the "Terrorist" world (I won't name it as that has been called racist here). Live In Peace Or Perish will stop terrorism. |

Anyway, back to the ridiculousness of the TSA!
One of my annoyances with them is the silly objects they ban on planes. They specifically state that tweezers and razors, including disposable safety razors, are banned from carry-on luggage, and a few paragraphs later, they state that scissors with a pointed tip are allowed as long as the blades are not longer than 3 inches. I'd like to know how I can do more damage with a pair of tweezers or a disposable safety razor (have you ever taken one of those things apart? the blades are so tiny and break very easily!) than I could with a 30inch pointed scissor blade. Banning things like this basically guarantees that many people can't go on a trip without needing to check their bags, which means the airlines can collect baggage fees. Hmm.
The article was really great though. I like that the author actually managed to get through security and complete a whole flight with a fake, photoshopped ticket. He kinda brushes over that a bit. That one part alone is quite telling. |

| When you misunderstand the reason for the TSA and their mission, many things don't make sense, like the allowing of scissors but not tweezers on planes. When you understand why they're here, then it all comes together. The mission of the TSA is NOT to protect us from terrorism. It's mission is to condition the public to accept checkpoints, body searches, scans, and general invasion of privacy. It's about getting you to accept being violated, and giving up your constitutional rights as an American citizen. It's been constructed by the global government takeover to get control over Americans. To put it bluntly, it's a Psyop. |

| I had to throw out a small gifted bottle of aromatic massage oil... yet have gone through the checkpoint with xacto blades in my laptop case at least 4-5 times now. Have a flight to catch tonight, looking forward to throwing a fit about the body scanners should they choose me "randomly." |

Someone smuggling a big sausage in their gitches would be a pretty funny bit at the body scanner. It makes me think of the Austin Powers and Mini-Me bit behind the screen.... //www.youtube.com/watch?v=onkZzEAi_2U

Once when I came back from Italy, when we were in Detroit going from the plane to Customs, I saw one of the passengers, a 30ish looking man in a suit, sitting next to a trash can gnawing on a big salami. I must have been staring because he said, "This is just too good to let them throw it away." |

Well, they are lethal little objects, aren't they.
Think of all those calories!
Why, the plane could explode from the suddenly burgeoning passenger girth alone! |

Airlines (and the Washington State Ferry system, for one) have had to revise their carrying capacity because of the increased average weight of the passengers -- former payloads were based on an average of 165 pounds/person; new figures are based on an average weight of 180 pounds. Think about that the next time you take an elevator which says it can hold "10 people" ... :-( |

I've definitely had to gobble things that they wouldn't let me take through, including yogurt, a bagel, and a sizable hunk cheese. Generally things I hoped to get through as a meal/snack on the plane. Nothing as humorous as a large sausage though : )
Once my checked luggage was relieved of 5 pounds of Swiss chocolate (presents wrapped in Christmas paper), which was replaced with a note saying that the drug dogs reacted to them. Mhm, yeah, sure they did. |
