Let me see if I’ve got this right. The TSA is going to make everyone who flies in the US take their shoes off and have them X-rayed. Except, that it seems that the TSA knows the X-Rays won’t do a goddamn thing to detect explosives. So, the lines at National and BWI and Dulles all just got longer in the name of “safety,” but really it’s only safety theatre?
Gee, thanks TSA. I’m so very glad you’re around to “protect” me from all those mean terrorists by making me take off my shoes so that you can pretend to check them for explosives. That’s really awesome. Now, can we just find someone to weave explosives into cloth so we all have to fly naked, handcuffed and under gunpoint? Because that would really rock.
