I would personally prefer my tax dollars not be spent on upgrading these systems, antiquated tho they might be. We haven’t had a plane blown up or hijacked in over 20 years

When the Republican takeover is complete.

I always see statements like this as a excuse to not actually talk about what’s really happening.

Technology isn't men though. It's meant to be doing things we can't on its own. With how powerful stuff like AI analysis is getting, they should find better solutions.

The only thing the Devil ever needs to do is sit back and leave idle men to their vices.

They are the most expensive home security window sticker ever. While they haven’t actively prevented terrorist actions, their mere presence may have been sufficient to make terrorists seek softer targets. Unfortunately, that’s hardly something we can measure or quantify

We travelled to Israel with jar of peanut butter in checked luggage. As it happened, the kids liked the food and we didn’t use it.

When at the airport for our return home, Israel security pulled our bag aside, rummaged through and asked us about the peanut butter. They let it go back in the bag.

Best plan he ever had was what he did on Sunday

I mean the reason was entirely security theater.

Locking, reinforced cabin doors and air marshals prevent another 9/11, banning toothpaste does not.

There's zero evidence the TSA has stopped a single terror attack, and on top of that they fail their own internal red team tests 95% of the time

Why? Did he say he will come back to life or something?

That would explain the great success!

The vast amounts of detail coming from the 2019, 2021, and 2023 changes are making it hard to find anything that happened before then. But I challenge you to find a case where the Church turned over a person to the law enforcement who wasn't already being demanded by the law enforcement. A case where a priest or other employee abused a kid, and the Church said "here police, this guy did something". You'd think with the massive number of cases shown by the legal settlements, there would be somebody turned over BEFORE it made it to civil court.

It's not "simping" to recognize that the banks (assume that's what you were saying instead of "back") in general cannot shell out 40 billion plus dollars in a week.

The big banks are part of another problem, but, not everyone is part of a cabal or is even aware they are helping one.

So this is all part of God's plan, if you will?

What a dunce and what a shitty plan.

Maybe replace that guy with someone more competent.

I guess abduction and torture weren’t doing the job.

I understand your point, but you’re grossly overstating it. Hijacking used to be commonplace in the 70s & 80s. Then 9/11 obviously happened and TSA was obviously created in reaction to that, so there are obviously reasons. Whether those reasons justify the existence of TSA is a different discussion tho

Yikes.

Unless you're bringing more than a week of outfits or you need to bring so much stuff that you can't fit it in a carry on, why would anyone choose to pay the extra money to check a bag

The entire agency exists for no reason my dude

You don’t need a supernatural entity to explain the mundane reasons why people do wrong.

"Jack sez uses base eight fer hiz figgers cuz he's missin' a toe on each foot. Naw, it wasn't no ackserdint, he was jes bawn that way. No, he don't use his fangers fer cipherin, one's bizzy writin tha cipherin and the other he's scratchin hiz ear wif."

i am a leftist, i do not follow mainstream media, so your critiques fall on mostly deaf ears. also, we literally have no left wing in America, so i have no fucking idea what you're on about.

every single foreigner I know has a Labor party or other left party in their country, while we have parties that they would consider to be "center-right" and "far-right", respectively.

until you learn the difference between "left" and "liberal" (as they are so different that I can nearly guarantee I hate Democrats as much or more than you do), probably don't use the phrase "left" at all. you sound like you don't know what you're talking about at the moment.
