The illusion of security brought to you by the TSA, DHS, & local, state and federal

[Team Sergeant]

The illusion of security brought to you by the TSA, DHS, & local, state and federal law enforcement.

16 year old climbs San Jose International Airport fence, boards aircraft and fly's 5000 miles. (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/04/22/16-year-old-california-runaway-survives-flight-to-hawaii-in-plane-wheelwell/?intcmp=latestnews)

What if it had been a islamic terrorist that planted a bomb on the flight and climbed back over the fence? And that was an American International Airport, lots of TSA idiots walking around, lots of federal Customs Agents, bomb sniffing dogs, law enforcement everywhere there's hot coffee, just not outside WHERE THE PLANES ARE........

Let's spend another trillion dollars on "domestic security" or at least give the illusion of security, and promote those currently in charge of that airports security and ramp up the NSA and domestic "fusion centers" to watch/monitor for possible 16 year old runaways.

There's not a safe/secure airport in this country 'cept maybe Area 51.........

There is no real airport security. It is merely theater in the terminal...

Should we then rename it "Theatrical In-Terminal Security" (TITS)?

I just refused to go through the full body x-ray in Atlanta. Took them almost 10mins to find a male to search me. Nothing but females in TSA uniforms.:)

On that note of security illusions...

Recently we had a string of random highway shootings in KC of which started in March. The authorities apprehended this person a few days after an elderly KKK/White Supremacist/Neo-Nazi from Missouri whacked 2 Methodists and 1 Catholic outside Jewish facilities.

Most of last week the news was focused on Frazier Glenn Miller and hate Crimes, whereas Mohammad Pedro Whitaker barely got a peep.

KCPD Police Chief Fortes comment about Mohammad......

“I wanted to make sure the residents and those who travel through Kansas City know they’re safe. They’ve been safe the whole time.”

Except for all the times someone was shooting at them..

Congressman Emanuel Cleaver helped secure $720,000 for five years of ShotSpotter service.

"We have a very serious problem each year. We have a hundred homicides or close to it, and that is just not acceptable. It is not acceptable for the people who live in the neighborhoods who buy their homes and would like to live in a crime-free neighborhood," Cleaver said.

Police don't want criminals to discover the locations that are being monitored. However, the system covers about 3.5 square miles in the urban core and includes the Troost MAS bus line and the Green Impact Zone.

"The crooks are going to find that if they shoot a gun in this spot unless they are Superman or maybe Spiderman they are not going to be able to get out of there before police come to the very spot where the shot originated," Cleaver said.


Obliviously the Grandview Triangle Shooter was out of the Shot Spotter AO.....and KCMO murder rate is still sky high.


All the Bells and Whistles didn't stop either on of these guys.

Did you tell them you were in a rush and, just this once, would be willing to put up with a pat-down from a female agent (of your choosing due to the inconvenience)? ;)

And Kyobanim - if you can't find time for humor and a good laugh, pediatric oncology will crush you. I'm just happy I can share my "adult humor" with others who are old enough to appreciate it from time to time.
