One simple experiment shows how any properly motivated idiot can take all sorts of metal objects (weapons!) through airports and onto planes.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/olEoc_1ZkfA\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As the creator of the video explains:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I\u2019m publishing this video because I want the world to know how much danger the American Transportation Security Administration is putting all us all in with their haste to deploy the expensive, invasive nude body scanner program. When the machines came out, we were told that the invasion on our privacy, doses of radiation, and trashing of our Constitution were necessary because the old metal detectors weren\u2019t good enough. That \u201cnon-metallic explosives\u201d were a threat, even though <strong>no one has boarded a plane in the US with any type of explosive in nearly 40 years<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>But while America was testing these devices, Rafi Sela, who ran security for Ben Gurion airport in Israel, which is known for being one of the most secure airports in the world, was quoted saying he could \u201covercome the body scanners with enough explosives to take down a Boeing 747,\u201d and Ben Gurion therefore refused to buy scanners. The US ignored this warning, and Mr. Sela never publicly explained his statement. But it stuck with me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Watch the video. You&#8217;ll be surprised.<\/p>\n<p>I agree with this sentiment:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00a0The nude body scanner program is nothing but a giant fraud, which should come as no surprise after the Fast &amp; Furious scandal that sent thousands of guns to Mexican drug cartels and cost a Customs and Border Patrol agent his life. THIS is a disgrace. So let\u2019s fix this problem \u2014 now \u2014 before the terrorists take this opportunity to hurt us: the TSA must immediately end the nude body scanner program, and return to the tried-and-true metal detectors that actually work, and work without invading our privacy, as well as implement better solutions for non-metallic explosives, such as bomb-sniffing dogs and trace detection machines.<\/p>\n<p>The TSA is worse than ineffective: they are an epic fail placing us all in danger. Beyond the scanners, Demand of your legislators and presidential candidates that they get rid of this $8B a year waste known as the TSA and privatize airport security. Ask for their commitment to our rights in exchange for your vote. And no matter which party is in the White House or holds on to Capital Hill, the issue of ending TSA abuse is of interest to all Americans; it\u2019s NOT a partisan issue. We must all stand together and demand an end to the organization that molests our families while placing us in danger by directly ignoring blatant security flaws.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have long believed that the nonsense the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) makes us go through at the airport does not actually makes us safer.
