lewrockwell.com — You are being watched! Big surprise huh?. Not only do you have TSA people X-raying your wife's lingerie in her suitcase AND on her body, but I wasn't aware of Bush's bold new security program when, last month, I flew back to the U.S. Had I been aware, I would have been doubly afraid. Just what are Behavior Detection Squads? Read on.........

I hate to be the lone objector here, but this technique works. To my knowledge, none of the other airport security techniques has ever caught a terrorist, but behavioral screening has. In Israel, terrorists strapped with bombs have been detained and disarmed successfully. In France, Richard Reid, the shoe bomber, was detained by a behavioral screener [<a class="user" href="http://archives.cnn.com/2002/US/01/07/reid.timeline/index.html].">http://archives.cnn.com/2002/US/01/07/reid.timeline/index.html].</a> The police couldn't find anything (I guess they didn't look in his shoes) so they let him board the plane.Think about it, checking IDs, bomb detection, metal detectors, random searches all have failed to catch a single terrorist. It seems to me, the government does these things as a way to inconvenience terrorists, not as a way to catch them. If we could stop using all the bad techniques which fail to work, and start using one that actually has a chance at stopping a terrorist from boarding a plane, I think everyone would be much better off.The real problem is this new technique is hard to teach and hard to learn. In America, we don't seem to value our security enough to pay for good screeners in our existing system. I hope with behavioral screening they will spend the cash to hire good people.

Damn straight. Why do we think we have to even have security at the airport anyway. See my next video, Paranoia Gone Wild! This paranoia is getting me down. Spoiling my buzz. Lets just ignore the threats from terrorists and it will go away, mmm kay? Lew Rockwell rants the same s**t over and over again, and Rhiannon1214 submits just about every new word found on lewrockwell.com. So the TSA is working on making it safe to fly, bring out the confetti and blow the trumpets. Wow, that's news.

You can either have racial profiling or bevahior detection. Which do you choose?

Same here. I guess a phobia of flight supports terrorism. I'm sure Bill O'reilly would agree.

The ability to carry a suitcase and ride on an aircraft is NOT qualification to assess behavioral profiling.That is exactly why this individual chose to focus on his own fantasies toward the imaginary victimization of poor, frightened, oppressed travelers instead of choosing to voice problems with the technique itself.He doesn't have a fecking clue about the topic he is discussing. The fact he is a career musician does a great deal to explain his ignorance.....and the final affirmation of why we should disregard this heated exploration of paranoia and distrust of authority as astoundingly dim fear mongering.

I've been involved in aviation for almost twenty-five years. I know licensed aircraft mechanics which I wouldn't let work on a tricycle, licensed pilots to whom I would not loan my truck and aircraft which only deserve that title out of respect for their age.I don't fly.

"And I've got news for you.....attacking ANYONE is wrong. In the civilized world, we solve our differences and make our voices heard at the voting booths. Everyone gets one vote. There is no need for violence."I agree that attacking anyone is wrong and that there is no need for violence, but I have to disagree about the voting booths. Voting does not make us free when we are only allowed to vote for people who all want to enslave us. You have to use other non-violent solutions."If you attack and murder ANYONE to blackmail free people into serving your own purposes, you are a terrorist."The suicide attackers of 9/11 were terrorists because they killed innocent civilians in order to terrorize the American people. If they had attacked US military installations in their own countries, which is what they claimed to be protesting, they could not logically be called terrorists. And yet, we are calling Iraqis who attack US forces in Iraq terrorists. Xevec is right that, by that definition, the American revolutionaries would be called terrorists, even though they were fighting against a foreign government occupying their land. While attacking innocent civilians is always wrong, there is a moral difference in defending against attacks by a government. To use Xevec's analogy, V is only justified in his violence if no innocent civilian or his property is harmed.

Have fun trying to attack "the government" in the same way that the "not-terrorists" are attacking "the government". A lot of people forget that "the government" is not a person, and there is really no way to just walk up to "it" and attack "it" using violence without inadvertently attacking someone else. The best you can do is become politically active and focus on using your civil rights to accomplish what you believe needs to be done. Blowing up a train station or burning down a building will not solve anything.

All this extra security stuff just makes the lines longer, doesn't make us safe and make the airports hotter and more full of sweaty travelers... As a hyphidrosis sufferer, I hate these new security measures.__________________________________<a class="user" href="http://www.megadry.com">http://www.megadry.com</a>
