| #4 I seem to always get picked for the scanners--the new one, the puff of air for explosives, the wand and pat down, and camera bag swabbed, plus my bag has been pulled aside and my undies displayed for all to see. The small airports seem to be the most stringent and do not care if you miss a flight. It is a pain in the butt to even fly but necessary. Coordinating info the gov't has on all of us with TSA when we purchase tickets would pre-screen most of us. Foreign born, one-way and cash purchases, or anyone else of possible concern could be pulled aside, speeding up the process for most. Seems to me those in need of further screening could opt out of the scanner and intrusive groping if they passed by the dogs trained to find the gamut--drugs, cash, weapons, explosives, etc. Chem, bio, and radiation detectors are already on site, I assume. Pilots wouldn't get constant radiation but someone in a pilot's uniform wouldn't escape scrutiny. As usual, the only complainers would be the mooselimbs, which should arouse suspicion and they do not fly at all. I know some female prisoners train the dogs as does a local trainer/kennel owner, as they are in great demand but very effective. |
