Pack a bomb??
I’m worried about them randomly selecting my bag for drug inspection or the bag being tagged in the X-ray… And the TSA agents judging my bag packing method and skills
But think how safe you would be if you did pack a bomb.
The odds of there being one bomb on a plane are tiny enough, but the odds of there being two bombs on a plane are vanishingly small…
The only way to stop a bad guy with a bomb…
The easiest way to avoid this is to make sure you always pack a bomb on purpose.
“The probability of having a bomb on a plane is very low, and the probability of having two bombs on the same plane is virtually zero.”
*Don’t say ‘bomb’. Don’t accidentally say ‘bomb’. Don’t say ‘bomb’.
“Hey, I didn’t bring a bomb! DOH!”
Me at American Airports: Why the fuck do I have to take off my belt/shoes and throw away my water? They just let me walk into a crowded airport with this shit…
If you’re traveling somewhere with extremely restrictive drug laws (e.g. Singapore), you can be sentenced to prison for drug particles on your shoes. i.e. you can accidentally have forbidden substances on you.
Do they test everyone’s shoes or do you just have to be extremely unlucky?
I’d assume they’re just doing the rounds with drug sniffer dogs. Those dogs have crazy sensitivity.
Drug dogs have an average success rate of about 44%.
If they’re sniffing around a Latino that rate drops to 27%.
They can sort of smell drugs, sometimes, but more often than not they are simply a tool that manufactures probable cause.
That’s too bad, so much that happens in World War Z (book) depends on dogs being able to smell sus shit out
For me, it’s all the suck brought on by a pathological fear (trauma) of authority figures abusing their power. In this case: TSA, and their ability to completely screw with your travel plans. To be clear, this is not rational and 100% nothing bad happens.
As someone who goes through TSA several times a week. Nah fuck that, some of the smurfs are absolutely there to fuck your day up just because they can. I’d say about 60% of the officers are highly mediocre, about 30% are good, but that last 10% are just malicious.
Everytime
Not a word!
