Uncommon Sense From The TSA

They may have decided to let us keep our nail clippers.

Officials want screeners to focus more on finding things that can explode rather than things that are sharp.

Gosh, what a concept.

If the TSA keeps moving in this direction, they may eventually implement my plan. 1. Eliminate all screening stations. 2. Give a box cutter to every passenger. 3. Post a banner in each aircraft. The banner to say: "Let's roll!"

In all seriousness, let's give thanks that a few were brave enough to fight back. Let's pray that we all have the strength to do it.

That and give the ground controllers the ability to put a plane into a safing mode which takes the cockpit out of the loop. This would actually give the passengers enough time to get someone out of the cockpit.

To Reiter or anyone who knows.

What happened to those unbreakable doors that were to be installed after the 9-11 event?
