Could they sneak a gun in and start killing passengers until the cockpit door was opened?


No idea but if I'm the pilot I'm still not opening the door.

$85 took about 10 minutes in the office on Seigen. Got approved in 3 days. saved more than that 10 minutes on the first flight i took.

Shocker, the average TSA worker should be working at McDonald's.

How hard is it to spot a banned item in a x-ray machine?





Maybe not terrible, what is hard is complacency.

Not a ton of bombs being smuggled through, the one time matters though

I just renewed mine. Finally saw the TSA Pre Check desk at LGA open.

You can get it for free with Nexus Global Entry I think. I paid $85.

Pilot would not open door, worst case there is hundreds dead as opposed to thousands if he opens door

Not sure if you guys have noticed but the TSA is nothing more than a federal jobs program. These are literally the same people that work at Taco Bell, the DMV, or roll booths. Several actually have mental disabilities.

They have designed the system to make it highly dependent on technology. The timing of this report isn’t a coincidence. You can now expect a complete upgrade in detection equipment at airports paid for by our tax dollars to “keep us safe”.

And they shut down the line I'm in @ LGA bc some dumb bitch wants to fly with 20 bags of breast milk in a carry on cooler. They swab n scan each one. I think she would have been strangled by other ppl in line had security not been surrounding her.

How are there hundreds dead? Are you assuming the bad guy can bring the plane down with a handgun or that, like in videogames, handguns have unlimited ammo?

In theory.

I imagine it would be pretty hard to let and hear 100ish people die

I just can't stand the inconsistency. Every airport is completely different. Some make you take out an ipad, some don't. Some roust the hell out of you if you leave your belt on, some don't give a shite.

Orlando made my kids take out all of there books and any food out of their backpacks last month and put them in a separate bin. They told me it was a new TSA rule. I've flown through a half dozen airports since and it hasn't happened again.

Tampa is the worst. Those assholes still want you keeping your toiletries in a fricking clear plastic Ziploc like is Oct of 2001.

Or if he was able to bring a gun through security he probably brought extra magazines.

As long as they keep letting my edibles and vape cartridges through the Denver checkpoints we're good

The rule just changed. All electronics larger than a phone are supposed to be out in a bin.
