- The problem starts with those airports who use government employees as screeners. In a recent test, airports in San Franciso and Chicago - using private screening firms (with MUCH higher standards for hiring and job performance) were TWICE as effective - i.e. - their percentage of items intercepted was DOUBLE - the government employee counterparts at three other airports.
When have you ever gone into a government office and seen anyone working hard? These government screeners - even those who are effective and focused when first hired, will eventually get sucked into the same SLACKER government employee / Union employee mentality. FIRE THEM ALL - and BAN THE UNIONS!!
If you think this is bad, wait until Hillary trys to put the government in charge of your health care!! - Reply to this comment
- What the TSA needs to do before the terrorists end up killing hundreds of people is to implement the product that they are testing from Guardian Technologies Inc. The TSA and many other countries have been going through the slow bureaucratic process of figuring whether or not they want to implement the software that Guardian has developed. As I understand it, apparently it enhances the current screening machines that airports have in place and is able to detect the molecular make up of an item whether it is a solid or a liquid. It then highlights it on the screen so the highly skilled TSA worker doesn''t have to strain their eyes and brain so much. I know everyone loves to bash them but that''s really has to be a difficult task to do. It seems like a great idea and quick fix to me, but as the process of getting the go ahead to procure the technology drags on , the more likely we are going to get a news story reported that never should have happened.

- YOU''RE A FROG IN A POT
My fellow Americans need to open their eyes to the fact that our republic, along with The Constitution upon which it was founded, is being flushed-down the toilet by our nations'' bought and paid for politicians and media. While the Oligarchs warn and incite fear in the sheeple about the prospect of terrorism, they at the same time leave our borders wide open, and then conduct illegal wars overseas that do nothing but incite the terrorism which their Orwellian Laws like the Patriot Act and the John Warner Defense Authorization Act pretend to protect us from. Wake up America! It''s not about protecting you from terrorism, or Global Warming, or any of that other fear-mongering garbage the sold-out, mainstream media feeds you 24/7. It''s about feeding the bankers and the military industrial complex, and facilitating the global elite''s ability to ratchet-down control over the American people, placing us into a total control grid where they can surveille, track and control everywhere we go and everything we do. It''s the groundwork for tyranny. It''s the New World Order plan of Bush, Clinton, Edwards, McCain, Giuliani, et.al., being executed quite beautifully. You''re a frog in a pot: In order to cook a frog, you don''t throw him into a pot of boiling water. If you do, he''ll resist and jump-out. What you do instead is, you turn the heat-up REAL SLOW, and by the time the water is boiling he won''t be able to jump out anymore, because it''s too late--he''s already doomed. - Reply to this comment
- WERE HAVING A TEA PARTY! YOU''RE INVITED
As we all know, freedom isn''t free in this country. Therefore, in the wake of our successful fundraising event of November 5th, in which we all came together to raise $4.2 million dollars for Ron Paul''s campaign, we''ve set yet another date for an even bigger fundraiser. This one will take place during on December 16th: a very important date for people who love freedom and hate tyranny to ring the Liberty Bell, and let our sold-out, globalist, political ****** and their mainstream media enablers know that good Americans are mad as hell, and that we''re not going to take it anymore. December 16th is the 224th aniversary of The Boston Tea Party: an act of protest by the American colonists against the tyranny of Great Britain where the Sons of Liberty boarded British ships and dumped crates of tea overboard into Boston Harbor. It was a key event which helped to spark the American Revolution, and we hope this event will, likewise, add additional spark to our own 21st Century political revolution to restore peace, prosperity and freedom to our Republic by helping elect a President whose record of adherance to The Constitution is unmatched by anyone in American politics. Please join us this December 16th for the largest one-day political donation event in history. Our goal is to bring together 100,000 people to donate $100 each, creating a one day donation total of $10,000,000. The time to act is now. The time for Ron Paul is NOW!
