TSA to Fire 20 Baggage Screeners at Honolulu Airport
30 is a good start. but we need to fire them all to revive Hawaii's tourism. Survey after survey shows that having to endure the Gestapo treatment at America's airports has been the single leading cause in tourism decline for the United States. As a friend who used to vacation in Hawaii regularly put it, one cannot relax in Hawaii while being treated like a POW everywhere you go.
The fact is that the TSA has never once discovered a genuine terrorist trying to board a plane in the US. About 50% of the practice bombs set through by DHS get through to the airplanes; an acceptable risk for a real terrorist, especially if blowing up a security gate if detected is their plan-B. That we do not see planes and gates explodiing suggests the only "terrorists" are the TV fakes selling us the invasion of other countries who have done us no harm. But I digress.
Even DHS admits that airline security is no better now with the cancer scanners and rubber gloves that it was pre-September 11. A study by Harvard Business School came to the same conclusion. The above article confirms; TSA isn;t really checking for bombs at all!
The only real reason for all this harassment and radiation is that Eisenhower's "Military Industrial Complex" which made their money keeping us all afraid of the commies has not mutated and metasticized into the "Security Industrial Complex" which makes its money keeping us all scared of terrorists. A scam by any other name ... well, you get the idea. There are big-bucks in selling rubber gloves to the airports, and Michael Chertoff set all this TSA nonsense up as head of DHS, then quit to found a company, The Chertoff Group, that is getting rich selling the government all the security systems and services Chertoff told the government to buy.
Meanwhile, perverts are allowed to grope our wives, daughters, and children (a TSA worker was just arrested in Orange, Calif for keeping a 15-year old girl as a sex slave) while luggage is looted (Newark TSA worker arrested for stealing $400,000 worth of personal electronics and selling it on eBay. Most passengers were too afraid of TSA to complain), and in my case, a very expensive laptop dropped and destroyed. But Chertoff and his investors who are getting rich could care less about people being groped, items being stolen, Hawaii's ruined tourism, or the fact that both MIT and Johns Hopkins have confirmed the "Naked" scanners do in fact cause damage to skin DNA, and in all likelihood TSA workers will eventually succumb to cancer, much as 1950s shoe store salesmen died of cancer from the fluoroscopes popular(and declared safe by the government) in the 1940s. And as this article confirms, the TSA are not even doing the job they are supposed to be doing. The money-junkies are getting rich and laughing at you all the way to the bank.
Until someone has the courage to put an end to this nonsense, hopefully in time to save Hawaii's tourism and Hawaii. ~ Mike Rivero
