Being Pragmatic in Securing Our Homeland

Sunday, November 28, 2010

If you have been reading and watching news reports, these scanners wouldn't necessarily have prevented what you're so terr!fied of.  There are serious questions about their safety, as well.  

The invasive body searches also wouldn't prevent what you're so terr!fied of.  The way that they're being perforjed are also not SOP, & aren't being performed correctly.  They are NOT how 'pat downs' are supposed to be done, so the persons groping are either s3x offending id-jits or warped, twisted nvtcases practicing their own ideas for catching t3rror!sts.  Nothing of what's going on is what we should expect of professional security services in the US. It's as if the Three Stooges took over the Department Of Homeland Security.

But without probable cause, 'pat downs' are illegal.  

More importantly are the health risks that continuing these searches pose:

TSA agents often do not change their latex gloves between pat-downs! With these pat-down reaching into your pants, feeling your genitals, and sweeping bare armpits and buttocks, those latex gloves being worn by the TSA agents are obviously teeming with germs.

And yet TSA agents often don't change gloves between patting down passengers. They're often using the same gloves on you and your crotch as they were using on the previous passenger's exploratory crotch feel.

This means, of course, that the TSA is now engaged in extremely risky behavior that could spread sexually-t­ransmitted disease, cold viruses, skin fungi (such as ringworm), and even contribute to a pandemic outbreak.

So now, while the TSA claims to be protecting your safety, they could actually be infecting you with pandemic disease at the same time.

The article doesn't discuss it, but risk of contracting MRSA (which is spread through contact to the skin) is great from these searches.  

I really don't know what the h3ll these people are thinking or why we are allowing it.
