What? You take showers in the airport security line?

Right after you pass through.

Yet another reason not to visit the US.

You think this won't start showing up elsewhere?

Yes, I'm sure it will. Hopefully, more people are becoming aware
of the surveillance states being created by our govts and will
demand a halt to it.

Yeah, leaving us all wide open to terrorists blowing up the place.
Good idea.

Rotfl.


Somebody with your complete lack of brains would.

Doubtless you'll be asking for intrusive anal inspections next.

All carried out in public of course as you have nothing to hide
except this:

You may be ROTFL, but in fact it's not funny that we have people in the
U.S. that think that more and more inspections, x-rays, etc are going to
have any effect at keeping terrorists out.

With thinking like that Al-Qaida can claim victory and go home.

The US needs our good money.

Yes do stay away. Someone with a body like yours would undoubtedly
cause a riot laughing.

Which of the current security measures would have changed 9/11 in any
significant way?

Why do you feel more secure knowing that water bottles, hand lotion and
air marshals are stopped from boarding, while knives, guns and liquid
explosives are permitted through security (even when the screeners are
notified of the specific threat)?

It's not about security, it's about theatre. Not even good theatre.

Not allowing box cutters. Of course that was supposed to be
happening before hand... but you did say "current".

Your meaning is not exactly clear...those who place no limits on
the growing authoritarianism of govts in the name of terror are
fools. Obviously John Kulp is one of them.

That was my meaning--without naming names though.

Yes I intend to spend a little...buying stuff made in China, Japan, Korea...
OK I'll have a bite or two on the way

It's working so far...

That's the same logic that tells me that the elephant repellant I
have in my garden must be working, because I haven't seen any
elephants...

Given how porous the USA's southern border is, I wonder that
anyone claims that the next lot of terrorists (and I grant that
there are plenty of folk out there who would like to martyr
themselves in the name of their god) will enter by air...
