Most fake bombs missed by screeners.
I was just cleaning up, and noticed the front page from USA Today's Thursday edition. 75% missed in LAX and 60% missed at O'Hare... So, after all those pat downs (grabbing pregnant women's breasts and exposing pregnant bellies), shoes off, water bottles thrown out and children's sippy cups dismantle, and peace activists/ reporters on special lists... they are still missing the mark. Obviously, these idiots still don't know what they are doing or what to look for. Racial profiling and secreted lists are not working. We are less safe today, and have more reasons by other countries and our own citizens who are disgruntled and pissed off to act out a terrorist aggression. On top of that our ports and borders are still wide open and unsecure. AND they want to open up a NAFTA highway through the country from Mexico. I wouldn't be surprised if something did happen or was let to happen... Especially, with all the trumpetting and fan fare they are pulling out for going to war against Iran. The hypocricy and lunacy of our politicians is thicker than molasses, and I'm tired of wading through it.

1. So, what do you suggest?
More invasive procedures? Less invasive procedures? Or something else?

Spell it out.
