On my way back from Australia in 2006, I had an explosive trace test done on my clothes (randomly pulled out of the queue). I wonder if they will start doing more of those. |

I hope you hadn't exploded on your clothes before they examined them

Unless the wand sniffers have been upgraded the past few years, laundry soap residue will give a false positive. Make sure your washing machine has a good rinse cycle. |

The goal of zero bombs will be attained as they continue to reduce air travel, which is at all time lows - people aren't flying because of TSA nonsense.

Just recently flew again since last summer.
I went through the full body scanner both times through TSA. I got the pat down. When I was 18, I had a melanoma removed from my back. It left a very large and deep scar. The scanner picked it up and both guys had to check out my back. |

Now what? Everyone gets an MRI moments before they fly? I think not. That's the wave of the future, right there. And, when we finally move to behavioral screening, they'll start kidnapping random people off the street, implant the bombs, and turn them loose. Imagine the fun as dazed and confused innocents start turning up at the airports or other transportation hubs with those things in them... If trendlines continue, they will happen. Even if only as experiments to see if they can make it work. Personally, I think we should have Gone Roman(TM) on every nation, ethnic group, or party that even attempted mass terrorist actions as a means to influence things. The end state of our permissiveness in letting this tactic come into common use isn't even worth considering, because it's going to be monumentally ugly––As in, literally needing a colonoscopy and MRI before boarding public transportation. It's not just going to be "Did you pack your bags yourself, and have they been under your control continuously?", it's going to be "Do you know where you've been since your last checkup? Have you been conscious the whole time? Any unaccounted-for periods of non-awareness, Mr. Smith?". |

I was told that by a TSA screener once. IDK if it's true nor not. I do know that Glycerin based soaps and lotions will cause a false positive, so it's possible that's what the screener meant. |

TSA is abusive and the intrusions have become too great. I'll take my chances with a plane bomb rather than have some body cavity search just because I was selected at random.

Gives new meaning to the words "Explosive Diarrhea" I was referring to this part from the article: "Medical experts say there is plenty of room in the stomach area of the body for surgically implanted explosives. "The surgeon would open the abdominal cavity and literally implant the explosive device in amongst the internal organs," explained Dr. Mark Melrose, a New York emergency medicine specialist. For the last year, U.S. and European authorities have publicly warned that al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), al Qaeda's Yemeni affiliate, and its master bomb-maker, Ibrahim al-Asiri, have been designing body bombs with no metal parts to get past airport security." This would be difficult to detect even for a GC/MS type detector. |

I refused the scanner on my recent trip to Tennesse.
Got my balls felt up coming and going. And they checked the gloves for explosive residue. Cheap thrills.
But I did get to take fire on an airplane.

What's easier to pull off? 1)Surgery implant an explosive device into a person, hope they don't die during recovery or have a premature detonation on their way onto an airplane. 2) carry out a "No Russian" style attack on an TSA checkpoint?
The easier of the 2 is also the most impossible to defense against and would cause more damange. |

Last time I flew, I refused to opt-in to the naked porn cancer scanner. After the joke of a "pat down", the "agent" rubbed his gloves with a wipe and put it in a Bomb-O-Meter. I will not go through the backscatter machine again. I'm really not sure which method would allow me to smuggle more "contraband" on board, but both the pat down and the scanner are both pretty easily defeated. |

Because that requires having intelligent, educated, highly trained professionals who know what they're doing. Far better to hire tens of thousands of mindless thugs who'll vote correctly and pretty much follow any order you give them. Especially when you don't actually care about "security", because every "breach" gives you more excuse to grab more power, increase your funding, and scare off any opposition. Believe me... they want "incidents". The worst possible thing that could happen for them would be a year with no scares. |
