It's not like body scanners are any more efective.Quote from BSAM:
Lee, what you are suggesting could be true; but your hypothesis is too similar to Russian roulette to be a valid alternative.

Or, "Ron Paul calls for a rally around his crotch". Circle the wagons.
I understood you were saying that the current system in the US, which is body scanners and for those who refuse to expose themselve on a scanner - pat-down, is better than psychological profiling.Quote from BSAM:
Did I say scanners are the answer? I think you are drawing your own conclusions.
Quote from Kevin.Conard:
I travel alot, and what I see is that TSA employees are highly disrespectful towards passengers, they literally enjoy treating citizens like shit, but the US government is very stubborn, there is no way they will change things for the better, they are actually using the TSA to see how much they can get away with, in other words it's a test of power.
Quote from abdul_mcgee:
RP is the only US politician who I have never seen use an issue's publicity for his own benefit.
I can't believe people think RP is nuts when the politicians they vote in lie to you to your face and shrug their shoulders when called out on it. Who is nuts there?!! RP is the only one who has stuck by his guns for years and is still in office. That means something.
Additionally, I remember seeing that he had some measly $ amount in lobbyist money his whole political career. Wish I had bookmarked it!
RP is really America's only hope for restraining the government. Fuck, Americans aren't gonna do it themselves.
