in case you somehow missed it elsewhere...
a great interview with the man responsible for ruining air travel.
my favorite quote so far:
"If the TSO throws your liquids in the trash, they don't find you a threat."
if you're not a threat, then why did they throw your liquid away??
also good:
"In the meantime, we have begun using hand-held devices that can recognize threat liquids through factory-sealed containers"
what? factory-sealed bomb containers?
...
hah! the very first comment on the article was the same as mine.
it was an obvious flaw in kip's "argument".
...
Not to defend the idiocy that is the TSA but which factories? Do we now create a list of "government approved" factories?
Attack the idiocy head on. Do not fight the distractions.
I think you would agree
"Taking my shampoo isn't saving anyone"
the problem is that nobody remembers to fight the idiocy until they're at the airport and witness/remember what a pain in the ass it is. and then, it's much too late.
