/** * */TSA: Worst than Useless
/** * */We all have stories about the Transportation Security Authority. My “favorite” was the time I waited behind a woman in a wheelchair to pass through the metal detector on the way to board a flight in Miami. The woman was at least 80 years old and quite frail. Nonetheless, the security screener confiscated her hairpin. After all, the woman, while unable to walk unassisted, might have used it as a weapon. Airport security in the USA is a joke, and a bad one at that. It’s easy to create a fake boarding pass with Photoshop. And it’s not that much more difficult to steal someone’s identity to create fake identification documents. Indeed, the entire U.S. airline security process is nothing but “security theater,” a term coined by programmer and security consultant Bruce Schneier. But we still have ID checks, secret databases, and no-fly lists. According to Schneier, it would be much more effective to focus on “suspicious people” trying to board a flight, rather than “suspicious objects.” He would do away with most of the remaining security apparatus, including ID check requirements and the no-fly list
