I will agree that the airport situation is pretty ridiculous. I don't see that it protects us in any way; just window dressing. | I dunno about how ridiculous it is, but this is what happened just the week before last at the St. Louis International Airport...
They had to land a plane that had just taken off, because a guy had gotten a shotgun through security onto the plane, and into the luggage compartment (it was broken down). They're still investigating the incident,trying to figure out how he got past 15 check points to the plane with it. It was the flight attendant that spotted the rifle, and reported the darn thing.
The guy? He says he just carried it through each point, nobody said a thing about it when it passed through detection? Basically, he wanted to show that not only that it could be done, but that you could do it through the front door basically. |
