I just came across an article that lists some of the ineptitude of the TSA. In this particular instance, “inspectors” were able to find a water bottle, but missed the bomb (components) in the same bag. WTF? Aren’t these people paid and trained to be good at finding contraband, specifically bombs and guns?

In this round of tests, the “inspectors” failed 5 out of 7 times. Previously, it was reported there were failures of 20 out of 22 tests. At this rate, anyone wanting to hijack a plane needs to plan on attempting to get past 7 checkpoints, and they’ll get over half of them. Easily enough to repeat 9/11 in some fashion. So, why are we allowing the government to suspend our right to be secure in our person, papers, and affects? How long will we let the government rape our constitutional rights?

Apparently, as long as  grandmother-principals accidentally leave butter knives in carry-on bags. I mean, come on. When was the last time a little old lady hijacked an airplane? Oh wait, that doesn’t matter because W has to keep hassling us when we travel because the terrorists are coming to get us.

Unfortunately, the TSA people can’t catch bombs coming directly through their checkpoints. Don’t try to bring water through though.
