My neice has driven me nuts with panic over: TSa only looks for bombs and terrorist in the ways they've already seen not for bombs and terrorist in the ways they "HAVEN'T seen" Question says I, "How do you look for something you've never seen?" Since TSA fails in screening tests and they don't actually screen for the next method of bombing her solution is as close as I can understand it: get rid of TSA. <div><br /></div><div>RE: Skymarshals: only a small percentage of planes covered, most arrests are drunken celebrities, each arrest cost thousands of dollars. Money better spent putting an airline paid for guard on every plane. Question says I, "you want to get rid of TSA and replace Skymarshals with rent-a-cops? Because of drunken celebrities?" "Yes." </div><div><br /></div><div>Edit: the apparent disconnect between Skymarshals being paid for by the government and air line employee s being paid for by ticket prices was lost on her. Or maybe we should just move TSA employees from the gate to inside the air plane to be these guards on every airplane. </div><div><br /></div><div>I started to point out a few problems with this and she jumped on to a new tact: "blacks are 1% of US pop but 50% of prison population" Question says I "And your point is?" Marijauna should be legalized. Really says I, how does that correlate? The system is wrong. Could it be says I that your facts are wrong? No I read it on the internet. Well says I a simple Google search tells me that blacks are 15% of the US population and only 33% of prison population and I'm reading that on the internet. </div><div><br /></div><div>Her response: George Bush Sr was being paid money by the Suadis while he was president and that's a fact! Really says I, how so? She brings up an ad for a book written by some journalist and the ad says that the author, alleges that Bush took money from the Saudis and ISis is his fault. "Well there you go," says I, "it must be true you read it on the internet."</div><div><br /></div><div>And she nods with a smile like she just won the Dralasite World Championship of Debating.</div><div><br /></div>
