What's wrong with Airport Screeners?

Some of the airport screeners are just Lazy.

Because in most places, "Random" searches aren't really random. If the standard is 1-in-10, then the way it usually works is every 10th person going through the line gets searched. Unfortunately, that means that sometimes the guy who is dressed like a terrorist gets a pass, while the little old grandma gets the full treatment.

If they did it any other way, the terrorist's lawyers and the bleeding heart liberals would scream "profiling" and make the wait in line even longer!

I think the rule should be NO Hand-carried items at all, and 100% search of EVERYONE!

They are not allowed to "profile" people, because that would not be politically correct! Instead they are only supposed to pick people at random, unless there is a reason for suspicion for more intensive searches. The result of this is that 89 year old grandmothers in wheelchairs, and 2 year old children are searched.

We have to be sure we do not discriminate against any group, even if it is mostly members of that group who are the threat. We have to make sure that no one's feelings are hurt. Afterward we will all sit in a circle, hold hands and sing kumbaya.

Welcome to the world of the liberals!!! What a bunch of bull manure!!!

Maybe they want it to try to seem like they're doing equal "random" searches. Yeah, you know those old women can get very angry at times. I also think this is ridiculous, but I guess in this post 9/11 era, we just have to take it, especially since the screeners have so much power.

The entire airport security problem is generated by YOUR government to make you think they can protect you from someone willing to blow themselves up by treating everyone as though they are terrorists. In this respect they have taken over where the terrorists of 9-11 left off--trying to reduce the standard of living of every "infidel" in the world.

AND YOU'RE PAYING FOR ALL THIS!

Acting as a flock of sheep, you deserve to be on the slaughterhouse floor..............

Because of hypersensitive, politically correct, BS!! My wife is 5'0", 100 lbs, a blonde, and she would cry if someone questioned her with any kind of a mean tone. She has been through the bomb sniffer phone booth thing TWICE!!

More profiling, less waiting.

Or we all start flying naked with no luggage. And you know you don't want to see that.

maybe cuz the airport screeners are terrorists so by seeing u in terrorist specs...they let u in :D

probably the old lady was a terrorist(undercovered for al quaida), and a TSA terrorist (with a stolen uniform and badge working hard for al quaida ) had to hide a bomb (made in Irak) in her bra (made in china)...

I think it's stupidity and a lil bit of conspiracy, like they want some thing to happen, which is total bs! Oh and that sort of thing happens all the time, I fly alot and am always seeing it.

They probably thought that perfume she was wearing so much of was a bio threat because everyone around her was coughing and rubbing their eyes.
