"observation" program
For IP:
Like to or not, this is the ONLY effective method of stopping
terrorists who
are willing to die in order to carry out their missions. Our methods of
mechanical screening are almost humorous, and can be defeated in any
number
of obvious ways by a determined individual of moderate intelligence. The
methods currently employed by the TSA are in place to reassure the
traveling
public, not to provide true security.
Many European countries employee an observational method, and it has
proven
quite successful. Many countries go farther, and will ask a few (varied)
questions of those wishing to board airplanes. Almost no amount of
mechanical screening is more useful than a reasonably capable observer
asking a passenger one simple question: "Why are you flying today?"
We throw massive amounts of money
