You may think the TSA can get away with anything, but all these rules are the
result of bilateral agreements with the EU. If the EU says "no" to any of these
invasions of privacy then the onlyones who are fucked along the sidelines are
American companies ... Delta, Continental, US Airways, American, United, FedEx,
UPS and a couple of dozen smaller ones.

Works both ways.

Believe as you please, it doesn't alter the fact that whatever happened on 9/11
was an intra-USA thing.

Big deal.

So far they haven't fried anything nor anyone, just cost money and be terrible
nuisance. Plus that they artificially keep the threat level high enough so that
they justify their own presence. Probably that Nigerian guy on that Northwest
flight worked for the TSA.
 
RW>WD> You may quadruple the number of TSA-people at airports harrassing

They will come whichever way they please. Preferably first class.

The Pentagon isn't tall either and there are Middle-eastern airlines all over.
 
So you really don't know?
