The Transportation Security Administration won’t let passengers check or carry on any bags with toner and ink cartridges that weigh more than 16 ounces, the TSA said Monday.
“This ban will also apply to certain inbound international air cargo shipments as well,” TSA Secretary Janet Napolitano said in a statement.
“Further, all cargo identified as high risk will go through additional and enhanced screening. These measures also impact inbound international mail packages, which must be screened individually and certified to have come from an established postal shipper,” she said.
Does anyone but me think that the “terrorists” are making us look like old ladies. Oh wait, Janet N. is an old lady. Never mind.
These bombs seem to have gone through airport security a couple of times.
Did they actually say for sure that even one of them would have worked?
The terrorists (govt) have already won if we are having this discussion.
profiling, metal detector’s and random air marshals on odd flights are more than enough.
even air marshals are not needed, at the first hint of suspicion of the crew member, the pilot can be alerted, who can alter the cabin pressure and oxygen levels, causing people to get very sleepy, the air hostess wearing a oxygen mask could then handcuff the terrorist and lock him or her in a freshly used and unflushable toilet (with American pop music playing)..
Fact is i know how to kill someone with a pencil, or with a newspaper. AND i’m damn sure the seatbelt on an aeroplane could be used as a weapon if swung or thrown at their head.
Does that mean karate students or military personal trained in hand to hand combat are not allowed to fly?
of course not, because it is all about scaring the little people in order to regain control over a society that is finally figuring out it is actually under vast amounts of social and cultural control. fuck the TSA
