And what do you suggest? No security? That person hiding a knife in an enchilada, I think he/she had bad intentions...unless said knife was needed to cut the enchilada. I much rather be inconvenienced than to be on a plane with a person hiding a knife in an enchilada.
They caught the knife, yes, but a loaded gun got through! Didn't the fbi or some other agency do a study, and a ridiculously high number like 90% of the IEDs and weapons that were smuggled get through?
You know, when I clicked on this, I thought it was another "Argle flargle Damn Kids These Days" story. I think I'd prefer that to this. At least Damn Kids These Days stories don't make me wish I could travel by train from now on.
If you thought you had lost all faith in humanity, just look at photos of what TSA agents find in people's luggage. You will begin to understand just how royally F _ _ _ _ D people are and how we're all completely, utterly doomed. Most days, I welcome a major global extinction event. As long as I'm standing outside to see the sky when the meteor strikes, I'll go happily and satisfied in knowing everyone else is going with me. Is it too harsh to demand that anyone found traveling with these items (like the ball bearing explosive) should be brutally tortured for any and all information they may possess and then swiftly executed in a public square by the general public?
