Man detained after baggage triggers bomb scare and causes a full terminal dump. Except that the scary item was a water filtration system......

People in Houston clearly unhappy about BusSafe, a program designed to become routine in which TSA and law enforcement officers board buses, question passengers, and go through their bags. All in the name of stopping terrorists.

Will the next phase be cavity searches?

The cavity search, like the backscatter and invasive pat-down, is just for fun doncha know??? Remember the underwear bombing would have passed backscatter as well as metal detectors.

These explosive devices are being surgically implanted in the abdomen. I'm gonna bet you can see it on backscatter......bazinga as Sheldon says........justification for more of those things....they have to be at least 1/4 million a piece...somebody is gonna make a bunch o money.....

and workers and travelers are being exposed to un-monitered back scatter xrays. If those things were in a hospital, workers and frequent flyers would be wearing those little badges I would think./kicks

your very own tax payer funded terrorists at work......

recently i've had several so-so experiences in the kansas city airport, and pretty good experiences in miami (again) and atlanta. just got through security in atlanta and they gave me my cane back before i even had to go through the metal detector, and didn't force me to do the full-body scanner. on the downside, i had to stand in an enormously long line which was really painful (sometimes they allow me to go in the shorter line so i don't have to stand) - but it's my own fault, i should have just gotten a wheelchair.

my bag did get searched a couple of times in kansas city and miami - i think it's because i have a beaded worry pouch necklace with an arrowhead attached to it, it might have showed up as a sharp object on the scanner or something. they didn't confiscate anything, but it was pretty inconvenient.

Do you feel safer going through these procedures? Would you not fly if these procedures were not in place?
