Thank You, TSA

When it does good work, then I should comment on that too.

It's going to be interesting to follow the story, and see what they do with
him.

Yes, great. Box cutters. How many years did we go without a boxcutter
incident when boxcutters were permitted aboard? There is no evidence
he planned to use it on the plane. The cabin door is locked. He ain't
getting control of the plane with boxcutters.

In anyone - at all - surprised to learn that he is a moslem?

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.

You have got to be kidding. Why in the world would the guy put himself
at risk of being arrested and go to the trouble of hollowing out a bug
to smuggle on a box cutter if he had no intention of using it on the
flight? If he didn't want to use it in flight, he could have packed the
box cutter in his checked luggage or simply purchased one at his
destination.

And you know this *how*?

From the books he was carrying, he could just as easily be a
student of comparative religions...

The bigotry displayed in the comments appended to the article
referenced above is appalling. I agree entirely that he should
not have the box-cutter in the cabin of the plane, but that's an
issue that the TSA dealt with promptly and efficiently
(apparently)...

I tried to, but they wouldn't let me take it on the plane.

I understand the rate of wild baboon attacks in airports is also way
down since TSA took over. I am surprised they haven't mentioned that
in their self-back-patting press releases.

I am concerned though that they are not taking the threat of
terrorists releasing wild tigers from local zoos with the intent of
taking over flights very seriously..the recent escapes at major
metropolitan zoos may be a "dry run" for a hijacking attenpt using
tigers.

I understand that Secretary Chertoff's Intelligence staff overhead a
remark that if misconstrued and put into the wrong light after being
run through Babelfish several times could lead to an indication of a
possible dicsussion of a planned threat since wild tigers are the
"weapon of choice" for many terror groups.

NO price is too extreme and personal freedom must make wat for the
common good if it keeps us safe from rampaging wild animal threats on
our nation's aircraft.

On the other hand he'd need an awfully co-operative victim to kill anyone
with that.
