[QUOTE="Dale00, post: 1376914, member: 688"] Ran across an article on security screening and wanted to share the main points. [LIST=1] [*][B]There is harsh screening of passengers and crew but lax screening of checked baggage and little or no screening of air cargo. Why?[/B] [LIST] [*]Politicians are motivated to do things that voters can see so they are willing to spend money on TSA "security theater" but not on other parts of security. [*]TSA Bureaucrats are eager to get more funding and employees (like any bureaucrat) so they go along with what pleases congress instead of what will actually increase security. [/LIST] [*][B]What we are doing now does not work.[/B] [LIST] [*]There are many cases of people accidentally getting guns and weapons past TSA screeners. [*]Many lapses in security checks of applicants for airport jobs. These are the very positions that should be most severely checked - low pay and low supervision so they are vulnerable and able to put weapons, bombs etc on planes. [*]The new passenger screening methods would not have stopped the underwear bomber. [/LIST] [*][B]The Israeli method of screening (lots of intelligence, profiling and highly skilled screeners who do mini-interrogations of each passenger) works very well but is too expensive for the U.S.[/B] [/LIST] ([URL="http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htmurph/articles/20101126.aspx"]http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htmurph/articles/20101126.aspx[/URL]) [/QUOTE]
