Fire Alarms Systems

One of the main problems of the TSA 's brand of security theater is that it' s totally reactionary. Almost every piece is designed to stop the latest threat, instead of identifying the major problems in general threats. A group allegedly planned to use liquid explosives? You can 't no longer bring liquids through security! Some ass tried to light a fire on shoebomb? Each remove your shoes! This has to advise the people how far this result. Years ago, this led even Bruce Schneier, a threat to his film contest in which the goal was, with all sorts of movie-style plot threats, which would then make the run TSA helpless.

And now, for all the talk of the absurd new nude scanners and gropings, people have recognized that won 't do something good, if someone has a bomb implanted in them . So ... guess what? The TSA is now claiming that she reports that terrorists plan to blow up bombs in the air people have implants when flying ... and that the existing scanner won 't on the spot. So they can start implementing new security procedures, which she won 't tell anyone just yet.

Somehow none of this makes me feel not safe ... and my major concern here is the TSA on terrorists. Nothing 's done suggests that the TSA even close to focus whowill get on flights and instead continue to focus what is on flights of a rather pointless exercise is brought, if you find that it always Opportunities to the next thing to get on board.

I certainly agree that I'm incredibly tragic when someone implanted a bomb and it blew a plane. And contrary to the assertions of some, I 'm not sure that we have to go with total security. I 'd like the security that actually focused on trying to stop a real attacker, not to see on the lookout for the lady with 4 ounces of liquid in her purse.
