[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 1374108, member: 13624"] So are you suggesting that TSA has foreign intelligence assets, or is that all CIA/NSA/etc. stuff? Because if it's the latter, you don't get to claim that TSA is being proactive based on what other outfits are doing. As to the "ineptitude," that's pretty much the definition of reactive: learning from what they've done wrong. Seems like we've had more events stopped by alert passengers after the TSA let them through than the TSA has actually stopped. All the TSA has done is annoy those alert passengers, and give a (false) sense of security to the rest of them. Oh, and if the news reports are to be believed, [URL="http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2010/11/adam-savage-tsa-saw-my-junk-missed-12-razor-blades.ars"]allowed foot-long razor blades through[/URL]. Gotta love those professional, competent federal employees. Just wait until they [URL="http://money.cnn.com/2010/11/24/news/economy/tsa_screener_union/"]unionize[/URL]! [/QUOTE]
