Recently there has been quiet a bit of uproar and backlash due to the new airport security procedures by the TSA. Now I'm not how many of you have witnessed or have been through it (I have not), but I was wondering what would your airport security consist of to be optimal if not very good, but at the same not bring a huge backlash.
You put your belt in a box and the box goes in a machine and then your pants fall down and everyone laughs
Same as right now.
I live in Finland, so no dickwad TSA bastards.

Almost happened to me on the way back from China. Dropped about to my thighs and almost broke everything in my bag to catch 'em. Then I realized Chinese people don't have much of a sense of modestly...
Norway. Good ol' fashioned metal detectors here. No naked scanners or pat-downs.
I heard down the treebranch that you gotta do a full naked strip search or eat a little piece of bacon.
If they want me to go through a body scanner then I feel bad for them, nobody should see that.
I get to go through one of those scanners on boxing day cause I'm going to the states, it doesn't bother me, it keeps us safe.

What's up with your new title? :smug:
i think it's fine as it is now
i was going interstate (Australia) got my laptop taken off me, taken out of its case scanned... then my wallet and phone. Then after i got all my stuff together i got pulled up by the random bomb checking squad.
i dont see any real problem with it, if you dont want to have some guy grab your dick/ dont want a full body scan, dont fucking fly.
Metal detectors and xray machine you put your luggage on. Though they may be implementing those full body scanners that everyone is complaining about.
Irish Airport Security:
"Are ye a terrorist"
"No"
"On ye go then"
"Are ye a terrorist"
"No"
"On ye go then"
"Are ye a terrorist"
"N...well, yea I suppose a little"
"Are ye plannin to blow up the plane"
"No"
"On ye go"
Probs Xray machines for the bigger luggage bits that go in the belly (For the lack of knowing a better word) of the plane.
Xray machines and manual searching for hand baggage.
And this big fancy ol' scanner machine where you stand in, it scans your whole body (though magically keeps the privates private) and then shows colours on the picture of your body where it detects or thinks it detects something suspicious, customs guy then pats you there and all is well.
Unless you've got a bomb on you, then they'll smack your shit and cuff you.
Dutch airport Schiphol, personal experience minus the cuffing and smacking. :3:
I dunno what it is, but because I bought the ticket and it's voluntary I'll go through without complaining.
But yeah, I think we just have metal detectors(last time I used the airport).
I remember about 5 years ago when we didn't have any sort of safety checks at all.
I once accidentally spilled some white flour on top of my big ass external drive. I though I had cleaned it all, so I put it in my backpack.
The next day, when I was going back home; The airport personnel, stopped me and took my whole backpack, and there was like 2 men holding me while some technicians searched through my backpack. They all laughed when they got back, and I almost started to piss my pants. :saddowns:
My aiport security is being po as fuck.
No money to fly v:v:v
Also first post in 2 years 4 months, huzzah.
I try to ensure the machine won't bleep when I go through
Last time I literally cleared everything, the god damned thing still bleeped and they searched me, for nothing
I wonder how the detectors actually work. Few years ago the thing didn't detect my cigarette lighter, and then it did
I don't understand all this backlash against new security measures. Maybe you don't want people to see you naked, but would you rather be blown up? If you don't want to go through security, don't fly. Simple.
The airport here is a municipal one so security consists of a nice lady thanking you for purchasing a ticket and waving as you get on a plane, and then they bring you a small snack and thank you again when the plane lands.

Maybe your neighbour doesn't want to be seen naked, but would you rather be blown up? If you don't want to be blown up you should support mandatory cameras in people's houses to make sure nobody is making bombs

People are insecure about their naked body. Seems like they'd rather risk it getting blown up than having it revealed.
At the same time, I have to wonder what happened to warrant them suddenly increasing security like this?
Seriously. Why? Why all of a sudden, right now?

I kind of agree Zeke, as always, but I still think it's stupid that people don't want to be seen naked, by [I]one person[/I] working a shitty dead end job. Big whoop, that guy's got a dick, like every other male. Oh shit, kids have dicks too? I never knew. Same with pat-downs. Wow someone's gonna touch you. How is anyone possibly going to do this without exploding in rage?
If they were wrongly convicting people I'd see the problem, but they're just checking shit out because they're afraid. I can deal with that.
I don't see the big deal of the body scanners. It's not like they can see your face clear enough to associate people with the images.

people dont want others to see their baby penises.
so ive heard :ninja:
I was on holiday in France last summer, and I bought a empty bullet casing to hang on my keychain. When I arrived at the airport in Paris to take my flight home, they didn't even care for it when it went through the scanner.
While this summer, when I was going to Crete(from Norway to Crete), they stopped me because of the casing on my keychain, I had to take it off and put it in a tiny plasticbag, then I had to sign one of those damn forms.
It was weird, because they have much stricter security in France, yet they didn't care for the casing.
I still haven't gotten it back :(
Unless I'm flying the airplane, I don't fly. Ever.

Real ignorant point of view. This is why things tend to get out of hand: people don't care until it affects them.

You could use those exact words in that exact order to advocate for legalizing child molestation
Don't worry guys just yell "BOMB!" and you won't have to go through the scanners at all :downs:
