It amuses you that rules/processes/procedures are changed because people die? Using this logic, most laws involving cars could be thrown out the window... Not wearing a seatbelt? Just be careful! Driving 30mph over the speed limit? Have fun! You're driving drunk? Carry on!
And you find this to be punishment? Yea, you're right... If 9/11 taught us anything, it's that terrorists should be allowed on planes armed to the teeth. Let's forget the metal detectors altogether!
Hell, why even give the TSA agent my ID? God forbid I'd have to open my wallet and pull it aaaaall the way out for them to look at for 10 seconds.  |
Holy Overraction! Calm down a bit. The sarcasm fallback might have sounded OK in your head, but it came across as bitter. No one said anything about allowing "armed to the teeth terrorists" on planes. No one said anything about scrapping the metal detectors, or not pulling out the ID for ten whole seconds. What a lot of people have problems with is TSA sticking their fingers in female children's vaginas, forcing nursing mothers to drink their own breast milk and painfully squeezing men's privates to prove they aren't terrorists. And let's not forget about the body scanner naked pictures that were saved, passed around and laughed at by TSA agents. These are the things that make people get fed up with flying.
No one on here said anything about allowing drunk driving, speeding or anything else. Except for you, as an overreaction to someone who has a problem with extreme security measures that are leveled against the entire public as a result of the actions of 12 people. So chill and allow discourse.
