I wonder what a TSA agent would do if you let out a few well-placed ooh's and ahh's during the pat down, then afterwards, stared intensely into their eyes and said-"I know that was more than just your "standard patdown"-I feel like we really made a connection. Are you free for a drink later on, Magic Fingers?"

Call security?

Seriously, what would they do if a guy got a giant boner?

Not to be mean, but from what I have generally seen, the hotness status of most TSA agents is not too high-unless someone wearing a uniform does something for you!

You wouldn't want to have a Muslim name there.

The same thoughts...they don't handle anywhere the number of flights as we do.

I travel a lot and have yet to stand in some long line that makes it uncomfortable.

And they are probed, groped, detained, and questioned in detail in another room. How many of their customer facing employees are actually security, doubling as customer service people?

I got patted down at Burbank airport. He didn't like the extra layers of baggy clothing I was wearing when I went through the beeping machine. It was like 50 degrees outside and I had sweatshirt on.

Since Muslim terrorists have convinced their spouses to carry explosives. Why do you thinki they'd treat their kids any differently.

Druggies put drugs up their anuses often. They've been known to do that to their kids as well.

Do you think a Muslim terrorist would use a infant as a explosive device?

body language is quite useful.

1) the TSA has not successfully thwarted a single air terrorist attack against the US since 9/11. That task has fallen to either other law enforcement agencies like the FBI or to other passengers (shoe bomber, underwear bomber, etc.);

2) If druggies are going to shove things up their butts, the enhanced measures still aren't gonna find 'em, Stog. (And I sure don't want to know about where you got your facts about them using their kids like that)

I guess you ought to know BS when you hear it since you are the resident expert at it.

You really don't think the sheer number of flights and passengers in the US creates issues that would make implementing the Israeli system much more difficult?
