[citation][nom]WhySoBluePandaBear[/nom]Stop quoting my posts, It's getting annoying. Besides the fact, I hate when people break down posts to try and use context bending methods. So let me get this straight so I can get a yes or no answer from you....You issue here is privacy, more importantly your constitutional rights of not being searched, basically the 4th amendment. Really though, that isn't the issue, because you're still in favor of searching the bags and searching people's bodies for metal of any kind. So you're okay to searching, but to a certain degree? Let's just be open here and say you're not okay with someone seeing your small penis. We can assume this because one machine would make all of this so much easier. No dogs, no need for metal detectors that don't even work half the time (I know because I've accidentally had a pocket knife in my pocket and the damn handheld didn't even pick it up). You don't even bother arguing radiation, you simply don't want someone to be able to get a glimpse of you naked; even though we know this isn't like you stripped and having eye balls on you...it's more like having a black and white of just a what-would-be normal human outline that is merely present to look for weird shaped objects being concealed. Besides that, you're not really too much of a special cookie, because day after day and hour after hour...you're all going to start looking the same through that machine. You then suggest racial and ethnic profiling? Yeah, because it's only colored people who are at risk of terrorism...you could NEVER convince a white person of doing such heinous crimes...am I right? /sarcasm. You're from the South right? Or just hardcore Right wing? Which one is it? I know it's one of the two, or even both. Intrigue me on the answer please. You rather have pat downs vs imaging of your body? Wow, you really do have a small penis, or maybe some type of weird birth defect. Air marshals are typically on flights today by the way. Everything you've purposed as an alternative is basically what is currently going on, minus putting branding marks on people and open racial profiling. You're not against searching, questioning or safety, you're simply against having proof that you're either extremely ugly under clothes or are very ungifted. It's a shame that I'm tired and can't put my thoughts into words right now, because this isn't even funny, it's mostly scary how some of you people reason and try to rationalize.[/citation]
im just guessing that that is at mine. i live in Wisconsin, and if i had to have a political affiliation it would be libertarian. the airport around here, makes you go through the same metal detector over and over again holding up the line. having 2 check points, people who have passed, and people who failed go screw around in the fail check point.
now with profiling, i probably could have left out the skin color, but the 9/11 ones lived here long enough that a airplane ticket level background check would come up negative for concern. i know there are white terrorists, but the ones that really want to screw with us are from where? and are generally what race? with those two facts, you can expect to be inconvenienced a bit.
the branding marks as you so put it, are so people get thoroughly checked before on the plain, with a traffic jam of people, i can see a few who really want to get away with something able to get away with something.
now to be clear, our airports were ok for how long before 9/11? but than after, how much extra security do we have to have? they are doing everything but a cavity search and are trying to push us farther and farther than what we are ok with because of 9/11
and now, lets do this one
[citation][nom]WhySoBluePandaBear[/nom]Oh, and getting a white guy, with liquid explosives would be a pipe dream through your method. He passes the metal detector, the dogs isn't exactly hard to get around, either cover the scent or seal it to the point where it doesn't have a scent other than a normal plastic smell like a soda bottle. Then with both air marshals sitting in the plane, he goes BOOM, and everything you worked for is moot. Get rid of the metal scanners, the pat downs, the dogs, the racial profiling and simply walk through a machine. How can you literally get any faster than that? They will see any containers, weapons or weird objects without a problem. Then they take you off to their special place to find out what it is you have. Meanwhile everyone else just keeps walking. Seriously, just face it, you are insecure and think people care what you look like enough to stop the line just to laugh at you or something.[/citation]
if you really want to talk about the impossibilities like that. lets go one further. the guy comes to america, gets surgery, the surgery is to remove one lung, because you can live without one, or one kidnie, you can live without one. and in its place, they wrap c4 in a material that our body is ok with. now depending on how long its there, he may have scars or stitches, and can get through security. now all he has to do is get on the plain and however he has to detonate it he can do that close to the side of the plain, the plane goes down. now we have to either have full body xrays, with doctors there to be able to read them effectively, or we have to be strip searched, because that scanner wont pick it up. and in all fairness of not racially profiling you, everyone has to, not just the heightened risk people.
or how about someone manages to get a brick of c4 up there butt without it being detected. are you willing to do the random cavity search?
we can say extremes like that happen, and because of the possibility we have to take off out shoes now. if any of the above happen, be ready to touch your ankles.
