If they have to stop every person that smoked a joint, had a pulled pork sandwich, or had a beer, or shot a gun, or took a xanax before flying, the planes would never leave the ground. People would just stop flying as much and the airlines would go apeshit.

This whole thing is pretty hard to believe, but I guess they want to completely shut down every airport in the world. LOL. They can't catch everyone and people will figure out a way to outsmart whatever this new "device" is anyway. After all, it's man made.

If a human made it, another human can figure out how to make it less effective...assuming it actually exists.

HB.

I doubt such devices would be looking for all those things in an airport application but the concern is would it just stay in the airport? Intially the use of drones was controversial but as long as it stayed in military applications nobody really worried. Now however they're ramping up drone use in the public sector. Same with the Patriot Act. If it's just used against terrorists then nobody really cares but the concern is will they stop there? Do we trust them when they say it'll only be used against terrorists? If these new laser devices were only going to be used in airports and would only look for signs of bombs or other weapons then it would probably end up being seen as a good thing because they should speed up secruity screening and eliminate the need to physically grope everyone. The question though is will it stop there?

Of course not. That's why it's called the slippery slope. You don't stop. You descend all the way to the bottom. Which in this case is a complete out in the open police state. We started down this slope long time ago.

We crossed the Rubicon with the Patriot Act and creation of the Department of Homeland Security (gee that doesn't sound Third Reichish eh?). We will experience a 21st century fascist police state in all its glory.

What do we do with the capitalists in the MIC who bribe officials to implement their wares? Can't take em out back and shoot em.

Seems like a rhetorical question to me.

That's because it was, we all know it doesn't stop. That's also why I threw in the example of military drones as one example of proof that it doesn't stop where they say it will. Keep in mind I was responding to someone whom seemed to be suggesting that everyone was letting their paranoia get the best of them.

... Sure, I could throw on my tin foil hat pants, long sleeve tin foil shirt, and huge tin foil hat but what kind of fucked up society demands this I guess is my point?
