The TSA has decided to no longer require the elderly to remove their jackets, belts, and shoes when going through airport security.
How nice of them: The TSA has decided to no longer require the elderly to remove their jackets, belts, and shoes when going through airport security.
My emotional response to the TSA about this are two words not appropriate in mixed company, the first starting with “F” and the second with “Y”. My more rational response is to call for the end of this damn agency so the U.S. can get back to being the home of free and land of the brave.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Since Obama personally offed Osama, declared that the War on Terrorism is over and is planning a full-scale military exit strategy from the Middle East, there is no longer a need for the TSA. They can now all go back to being baggage handlers and sky caps.
I have always wondered about the logic of hiring police department drop outs to look for bombs and killers.
Why in the world would they really want to find a bomb? Just to blow up in the terminal?
What are they going to do if they do find a bomb wrapped terrorist? Scream bomb or tackle the guy?
Either way they are getting paid to blow up if they do their job right.
Its not like their going to save anyones lives if they find a bomb. Because they will find it inside the crowded search/inspection area that is just packed with other people waiting. Sometimes with more people crowded around than might be on the actual plane they are trying to keep the bomb off of.
I guess that is why they tend to inspect old people and children more than middle eastern men and burka wearing women.
My child was frisked four times in three years in the same airport. Each time he took a flight with me. Never checked me or the praying Muslims behind us. Just him and some random old lady they decided needed closer inspection and took off to a private room.
they are just making this change to speed up the security inspection process. Not to save anyone some embarrassment. They haven’t cared yet so why now?
