How many more federal employees are you willing to add to the TSA

[guzzijohn]

At least several people have said that the US should use the Israeli model of screening passengers for airline flights. It is my understanding that the Israeli model uses background checks, extensive questioning of passengers and profiling. This all takes manpower. Israel as I understand it has two airports with commercial airline service with an average total of 50 flights per day. Most conservatives want to limit the number federal employees. It appears that using the Israeli method would add probably 100s of thousand employees to do the job. Last year the Atlanta airport alone averaged 2,658 flights per day. Are you all willing to add that many more federal employees?

It is possible to use private security screeners... We have them here at KCI.

Just ban muslims and middle easterners who are not US citizens, from flying in US air space. Make them take the bus.

As many as it takes to implement a full police state. Thats when those really in charge of our federal government will stop. George Soros and the rest of the ultra wealthy "round table" participants will have nothing less.

YEP, but it makes too much sense. Better yet, stop all immigration. Ship out all non citizens. POWDERMAN.

Push your Senators and reps on state and federal levels to introduce legislation to protect their residents.   The more this gets tied up in court, I think the liberals will learn it is an unwinnable fight.  And keep it in the media so it can be a campaign issue.

The government needs to admit that they cannot protect us and that we are responsible as individuals for our own personal security. Allow citizens with CCW to carry while flying. If there were several armed citizens on every flight muslims would have a much more difficult time taking over an aircraft.

I do not fly because by doing so I would not be allowed to provide for my own security and would be forced to rely on the politicaly correct imcompetence of the federal government-no thank you.

I read where several years ago a man said as soon as he got on board a plane he asked for an unopened btl of wine and a pencil and paper or ink pin, so he'd have something to fight with. Don't know whether even that is allowed anymore. POWDERMAN.

I always bring one of those thick heavy metal pens and I keep it in my shirt pocket. They make a good enough stabbing weapon if needed.

Good idea. Thats what the guy said about the pencil. POWDERMAN.
