Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Airport Security (or lack of it) NFC - No FerrariContent - OT

[Larry T (l02turner]

Hi Michael -

    The âpracticingâ muslims Iâve known are like some other religious people â itâs only important to observe when convenient.  When I flew to Saudi in the late  70âs they partied hardy until we got close to SA airspace.  Then they made their way to the restrooms and changed to traditional garb and stopped drinking â although many were still flying pretty high.  Iâve read the niuts that like tokill people will do all the things forbidden before becoming a âmartyrâ (AKA Moron) â theyâd go to strip joints, porn parlors, rent a prostitute, get drunk â basically full blown I&I. (intercourse and intoxication) then strap on a belt full of C4 and kill a few dozen women and children....

 

    But I understand what you mean â our systems of checking people out is pretty poor â especially most recently.    In the early 70s I worked in Sub Nucl Design and was reqâd to get a Top Sec clearance â they (the FBI) talked to my neighbors, family, old friends I hadnât seen in years â and the form I completed wanted my life back to birth.

 

    I must have been OK (fooled âem) since I got my clearance but  probably took 3-4 months.

BFD.  I've had those clearances, too and they're not that hard to obtain if you're not in a college Fraternity or don't live like you are.  If you're a 'good guy', and have the kind of lifestyle that most practicing muslims observe, you'd get every clearance in the world.  Think about it.

  The background check for a TS clearance or a TS/SCI clearance is a few
  orders-of-magnitude more difficult to pass thru than an SIDA badge.

  That didn't stop Bradley Manning from siphoning gigs of classified
  data from SIPRNET with malice aforethought.

  Didn't stop Aldrich Ames, Robert Hanssen, John & Michael Walker, or
  any of the other people who have had a serious clearance and abused
  it, betraying the public trust and their country.

  A background check isn't a "foreground" check - every TLA and most
  numbnutz liberals seem to forget that.

  It tells you that someone has never been arrested or convicted for
  a crime - doesn't tell you that they haven't COMMITTED one, and
  certainly doesn't tell you that they aren't PLANNING to commit one!

  Every gate agent, and many ticket counter people have SIDA badges.

  Try a few lifestyle or CI polys if you think a SIDA badge is tough
  to obtain.

  Distillation: The pilot was completely right in his demonstration
  of the irony (and ineffectiveness) of DHS/TSA "security theater".
