You Are Currently Watching: Airport Security Sucks
Posted In: All Videos, Political VideosComments: 80 Responses
One of my pieces for RT – what lengths are you willing to go to in order to ensure safe air travel? Personally, I don’t mind a full-body scanner. It’s the people with BABIES who hold up the lines that I have a problem with.
January 12th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
Well Rezzie, with news that body scanners will be deployed, I’d say my limit is reached. I didn’t mind when the airlines beefed up airport and air traffic security in the States after 9-11. I could accept longer cues, waiting times, detailed interrogations, Military police, Armed Green Berrets with machine guns, required travel interaries. But if it’s biometric data they’re after, & electronic body scans are required to fly to the US I’m a no show there from now on…unless Homeland Security, CIA, FBI, NSA… whatever… comes up with an effective, but less invasive method of scanning for explosives. To top it off, nobody knows whether these devices are even safe. When you go to the doctor for an X-Ray, you wear a lead vest. So to have people walk through these new body scanners without one
…I mean how much radiation is entering their bodies from them? Where’s the information going? Who’s administering the devices? Are they qualified? Do they have a 2 year degree in radiology? What if the transmission from the device is too strong? What if the subject being scanned is a pregnant woman? What potential harm and her unborn may receive by walking through one of these devices?
I’d really think twice before doing so
1) Because we don’t know who’s administering the devices and collecting the data
2) Because the radiation from these devices may be toxic-unsafe.

[..YouTube..] For I’d rather go hungry to beg upon the streets
Than earn my bread on dead men’s souls and crawl beneath your feet.
And I will not play your hater’s game and hate you in return,
For it’s only through the love of man the blacklist can be burned.
January 13th, 2010 at 1:39 am
[..YouTube..] And you men who point your fingers and spread your lies around,
You men who left your souls behind and drag us to the ground,
You can put my name right down there, I will not try to hide –
For if there’s one man on the blacklist, I’ll be right there by his side.
January 13th, 2010 at 1:40 am
[..YouTube..] Hey, you blacklist, you blacklist, I’ve seen what you have done.
I’ve seen the men you’ve ruined and the lives you’ve tried to run,
But the one thing that I’ve found is, the only ones you spare
Are those that do not have a brain, or those that do not care.
January 13th, 2010 at 1:42 am
[..YouTube..] Instead of trying to insult me and My rights try VOTING!! and DOING…China owns most of our debt and that really sucks..but you ar eto stupid to know that I am a FREE AMERICAN!!! and I work TO KEEP IT THAT WAT and please stop quoting things you know nothing about…you are the one that is preprogramed
January 13th, 2010 at 1:54 am
[..YouTube..] Well, for now we can still judge for ourselves weather or not to support your viewpoints.
You threatened to put me on a federal government blacklist, that makes you just a terrible human being, by any stretch of the imagination.
You’re one dense dunce! Also, from your comments I can deduce you’re a textbook sociopath. At least you’ve got tendencies.
Like a puppet with MPD, you claim to espouse freedom, but your true disdain for it keeps boiling up to the surface!
I say, DON’T VOTE!
January 13th, 2010 at 1:59 am
[..YouTube..] I am done. You need help,and I made no threats. have a great day!
January 13th, 2010 at 2:04 am
[..YouTube..] China is the road map for the entire new world order, if you don’t like how China is being run, then you need to stop whistling Dixie, and change your weary tune. Here’s an old Irving Berlin classic for you all…
God, bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her,
And guide her
Through the night with a light from above.
January 13th, 2010 at 2:06 am
[..YouTube..] I’m glad you’re done. No threats? What a liar “maybe I should get you on the watchlist.” WTF do you call that? Textbook sociopath.
January 13th, 2010 at 2:12 am
[..YouTube..] Textbook..
January 13th, 2010 at 3:02 am
[..YouTube..] Lori, I’m not ok with the security measures. First; all the attempts on airlines since 9/11 have been foiled by the passengers, not security. Security missed them. Second; I’m going to paraphrase Thomas Jefferson…or Thomas Paine (I don’t remember, it’s late) “those who trade security for freedom deserve neither.”
January 13th, 2010 at 3:17 am
[..YouTube..] Maaaybe… The American policies should be more related to better international relations, than on airport security measures. Whilst the US spends billions on airport security, terrorist will probably make up some cheap and primitive ways of taking them down, so long as there are people hating the US.
It’s pretty easy to hate the US, that’s what I mean.
January 13th, 2010 at 3:40 am
[..YouTube..] I had the misfortune to travel to the US a few years back, i think 5 years ago, I was disgusted, my wife and I were treated like criminals at every single Airport, all the planes were late, the airports were horrendous, the staff had an attitude, we were barked at like fg prisoners, I fell in love with New York and will go back there again but i could not be bothered with the rest of the US based of the lack of civility at the Airports we had to fly through Japan on the way home the difference
January 13th, 2010 at 3:48 am
[..YouTube..] that’s exactly what i was going to say.
January 13th, 2010 at 4:12 am
[..YouTube..] hahahahaha
January 13th, 2010 at 5:00 am
[..YouTube..] Changing foreign policy? You sir sound like a communist extremest nazi nationalist leftist!
On a serious note, you are right. It seems easier for this nation to put a band aid on a gash that is opened up by a thorn every day rather than getting rid of the thorn. Most concentrate on the product but not the cause of the problem. Oh well.
January 13th, 2010 at 5:01 am
[..YouTube..] That is Franklin.
January 13th, 2010 at 5:06 am
[..YouTube..] Thanks YettiRAF. Like I said, it’s late my brain is on reserve power. I’ll try not to let it bruise my ego too much that I got a US history lesson from the Royal Air Force. LOL!!!
January 13th, 2010 at 5:17 am
[..YouTube..] Heh no problem.
January 13th, 2010 at 6:36 am
[..YouTube..] i’m actually japanese living in brazil. So I’d like to think i’m relatively unbiased.
I’m not saying I hate the US, either. What I mean to say is. The US, historically, is as good as nazis
January 13th, 2010 at 6:51 am
[..YouTube..] Airport security shouldn’t be the deterrent against terrorism. It should be the intelligence agencies doing their damn jobs right! It wasn’t because we had lax airport security that almost led us into another terrorist attack, it was the incompetence of the CIA and foreign agencies that almost led to it.
More airport security, all it means is more wait time! There is no such thing as a perfect security, if somebody really wanted to get something on a plane, they will always figure out a way.
January 13th, 2010 at 6:54 am
[..YouTube..] It doesn’t matter how much you increase security. It always comes to this: mistakes are made and incidents happen. See Detroit plane or Newark airport.
By concentrating on this one window that can open and close and do our best to prevent burglars using that window to get in, we forget that the whole backside of the house has no walls…..
January 13th, 2010 at 7:13 am
[..YouTube..] Whenever you can…take some other form of public transportation…bus…train ..etc.
January 13th, 2010 at 7:30 am
[..YouTube..] good analogy, the most stupid thing is the govts always give big publicity to their security additions on the proverbial window to make the public confident in them, to make the public think that the government are doing a great job, when the truth is, like you said, theres fuck all that can be done really
January 13th, 2010 at 8:07 am
[..YouTube..] Zero.
I will never fly on a plane again until the airlines stop treating people as criminals. You are innocent until proven guilty. I will not give up my rights. F*ck the airlines.
January 13th, 2010 at 10:28 am
[..YouTube..] I have already hit my limit. I do not fly anymore, I drive despite the gas prices. Same for my family.
I would fly on a ” At your own risk ” airline. No checks just get on the plane and go.
January 13th, 2010 at 2:02 pm
[..YouTube..] Is it? Only terrorist I know call themselves good muslims. Fear sells very well. When they see the costs because their lack of selfregulation, they might be more alert. Greed also sells. We should be greedy when it cost us.
January 13th, 2010 at 2:13 pm
[..YouTube..] Hey, if you’re talking about deportation, then okay. Taxing Muslims makes no sense. In fact, it’s all moot, since Obama himself is a dedicated radical Muslim extremist. No mater what “they” want us to believe, that s clearly the case, and the facts are insurmountable.
To use Bill Ayers’ own scenario, we get martial law and forced socialism, with FEMA’s reeducation camps. Where capitalists will learn to except the bondage of slavery, or burn in the holocaust that is rapidly approaching.
January 13th, 2010 at 2:22 pm
[..YouTube..] Are you from Amsterdam? No wonder you hate Muslims, right on! Go to a smoke shop and toke up for me! I’m very envious of you, Bro!
January 13th, 2010 at 2:37 pm
[..YouTube..] Look if those terrorists think they get 72 virgens when they blow themselves up amongst a lot of innocent people (greed) they should know that we’re going to punish the rest of them that they leave behind.
January 13th, 2010 at 2:40 pm
[..YouTube..] I’m not from Amsterdam. I could get myself a joint whenever I like(3 min. from here 5 coffeeshops). I don’t smoke marijuana. Not because I think it’s bad, because I don’t like it.
January 13th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
[..YouTube..] What if you get detained without trial….is that safe or is it facism at it’s best.
gotta love that patriot act 2.o
January 13th, 2010 at 2:49 pm
[..YouTube..] Heck yeah! Those guys are all batshit ahh ai ai ahh ai ai ai! Have you heard their “prayers” at Mecca? Obama told the NY times it was the most beautiful sound he ever heard! You know what, it’s not sounding like prayers, as much as it is crazy Arabs shrieking as if they are possessed by demons. They are defiantly crying out for our blood, since we hate their satanic cult of loony shit heads. Why do they want 72 more virgins, when all they do is rape or kill everything that walks?
January 13th, 2010 at 2:52 pm
[..YouTube..] i don’t give a shit about the axis. your kind of red neck narrow minded mentality is what makes the US be so hated. Then don’t complain that other nations get planes and attack buildings…
I’m not taking sides, I’m just saying the US makes it damn easy for them, as a nation, to be hated.
And Brulluhman, with your oil hungry mind, you just give the hatred more fuel. And philochs, don’t dread over the past and realize that the US is not the hero of the world. They should mind their own business.
January 13th, 2010 at 2:56 pm
[..YouTube..] But you’re thankful for the freedom, and to each his own. I personally love cannabis. I would like to move to Cali, which is arguably as good of a place for legal pot as any!
I would also like to move to NY though, since in some areas you can get 100mbs web for $100.00 a month. Stuck with an unreliable 20mbs and a pathetic upload speed under 3mbs, my town is really breaking my balls. We also have harsh pot penalties. This is the state where you can get life in prison for growing 1 plant!
January 13th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
[..YouTube..] yeah like no matter how many security measures they put in place they just keep missing these people they are supposed to be catching. i mean the terrorists are forward-thinking, whatever security measures are in place they’re gonna try and figure out away around it which they eventually will. we have to be more forward thinking about the security measures and think like a terrorist: “if i wanted to get through security how would i do it?”
January 13th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
[..YouTube..] wow seems like u didnt get enough fucking hugs when u were little
January 13th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
[..YouTube..] Well our war on drugs is the same, but we use another strategy. First of all we provide junkies with free heroin and let them get rid of the snow. The dealers are off the street and they make themselves usefull. Something like that would save America 20 billion a year. No dealers, less robbers, they clean the streets.. less officials.
Here we legalised marijuana because it’s a softdrug. Alcohol is a harddrug. Anyone who drank a beer has used harddrug. Coffee is a softdrug.. and so is tea. So.
January 13th, 2010 at 3:44 pm
[..YouTube..] Everybody has it’s mouth full about Amsterdam and that we can smoke marijuana here. Yeah we do. I think it’s more tough (hardcore) when people drink a beer.
Your Obama invited a policeofficer and some racial guy to come over to the white house to drink beer. That’s extra hardcore.

January 14th, 2010 at 3:31 am
[..YouTube..] I see alot of people willing to sacrifice liberty for security. It saddens me. If you would live your lives like there is no tomorrow, death will never frighten you.
January 14th, 2010 at 5:13 am
[..YouTube..] Let’s hope security knows about them long before they ever try to board a plane or even before they leave for the airport or even before they try and buy a ticket, perhaps even before they take flying lessons and show no interest in landing, at least on a runway that is.
There seem to be any number of these idiots ready to sacrifice their lives for their imaginary cause, innocent law abiding bearded people “of middle eastern appearance” are being hounded like hyenas because of them.
January 14th, 2010 at 6:04 am
[..YouTube..] TheResident can check my underwear for explosives any time she wants. Careful! It could go off in your face.
January 14th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
[..YouTube..] Lori, are you sure you know what happened?
Eyewitnesses have repeatedly stated the ‘bomber’ was helped on board the plane without a passport by a man in a suit.
And they say security was unusually lax at the Dutch airport.
There is a real chance that this was all a set-up, that Dutch intelligence or CIA were involved.
Until you can say definitely this was not the case, you should not call it “another terrrorist attack”.
It was probably an inside job, just like 9/11.

[..YouTube..] The eyewitnesses who saw the bomber get past security without a passport and with the help of a mysterious man in an expensive suit were American attorneys Kurt Haskell and his wife. Everyone please google Kurt Haskell flight 253.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:00 pm
[..YouTube..] From the MLive article:
Haskell said he and his wife were sitting on the ground near their boarding gate in Amsterdam, which is when they saw Mutallab approach the gate with an unidentified man.
Kurt and Lori Haskell are attorneys….
While Mutallab was poorly dressed, his friend was dressed in an expensive suit, Haskell said. He says the suited man asked ticket agents whether Mutallab could board without a passport. The guy said, ‘He’s from Sudan and we do this all the time.’

[..YouTube..] Also Flight 253 witness Kurt Haskell says:
One hour after we left the plane, bomb sniffing dogs arrived. … All of the passengers had their carry on bags with them. When the bomb sniffing dogs arrived, 1 dog found something in a carry on bag of a 30 ish Indian man. … I will refer to this man as “The man in orange”. The man in orange… was immediately taken away to be searched and interrogated in a nearby room. …When he emerged from the room, he was then handcuffed and taken away.

February 24th, 2010 at 7:12 am
