These scanners don't do shit but make people feel safer and put money in the pockets of clients of the previous Secretary of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff's security firm.jackslammer Wrote:Park in the ghetto with your car unlocked at midnight, no matter how advanced your car alarm system is your car is getting jacked.This doesn't even make sense. What would be the point of getting a security system and then leaving my car unlocked? What would be the difference between an unlocked car with an inactive security system and a car without a system in the first place?
I have no idea what point you're trying to make here. Are you likening the whole of the US to a ghetto? Or is the unlocked car the US and the ghetto the TSA? Or are you just drug addled?
Ron Paul has the right idea with his The American Traveler Dignity Act dealing with the TSA and he argues it should be airliners responsibility to provide security. Are Ron Paul and I risking the safety of Americans because we want to pay less for flights and pay less taxes to skip the pointless full body scanner with an airliner of our choice? Is my car at risk because I don't waste money on an alarm system for my car but instead I just lock it and am assertive to where I park it? One could claim that my car even parked in a safe area, and locked, would still be safer with the additional security of an alarm system but what if I find it negligible? The additional security of full body scanners has yet to be proven as are the health risks so why are we forced to pay for it and be blasted with radiation or be molested?
And the bottom line to increasing the security of our airlines would be profiling as most of the world already does, that would be analogous to parking my car in a safe area, but I'd be offending neighborhoods by not parking on their "ghetto" streets. :doh:
