    I am not surprised about TSA at all.

      This is a great idea and I can't see how it could possibly be misused to abuse minorities.

      Just another great contribution to American safety by America's genius corps, the TSA.

        This is one place where Israel actually knows what to do. They don't care abt your shoes or water bottle, but they do a whole long interview to check body language. (Sure, there's plenty of racial profiling too, which is obvs fucked, but their training in body Lang is serious and real.)

          They also actually catch terrorists on occasion, from what I hear. The TSA has a track record of 0. We're apparently supposed to believe that we're safer because the TSA is so scary that terrorists have given up trying to terrorize on planes.

        I'd be more OK with TSA's existence if it seemed like they had an iota of standards for hiring. As it is, I'm being felt up by someone who probably couldn't get a job at Burger King.

          While they may not get much in the way of training, this is a gross exaggeration. Government jobs with decent security, benefits, and pay above minimum wage are pretty desirable in our terrible economy.

          So you don't think that they're thinking, "Man, I wish I was making two-thirds to half as much as I am now cooking fries instead of screening this condescending person"?

        They should hire my dog. She's a great judge of character and never steers me wrong. Just yesterday, she snapped at my landlord. She's probably as pissed as I am about the shower tile situation.

          They spent nearly a billion dollars to make a poster saying "Search the brown people"? Did they print in on diamonds or something?

            Damn. I loved Ria Torres so much, I really wanted her to be real.

              They should hire Cal Lightman.
