- They want us to continue to fear that there may be a problem.
However, the real problem with airports is the frickin' delays. Three out of my last four flights were significantly delayed, anywhere from 3 to 10 hours. |
Umm, "dangerous material" goes on thousands of plane flights every day, in fact without it, the planes wouldn't be able to fly.
It's called jet fuel.
But as for your linked bit of nonesense, so what if someone was able to take the parts of a bomb through airport security? They'd still have to find some privacy to put the damn thing together and these days that's virtually impossible. And there's no way they'd be able to put it together once they were on the plane, that'd be
WAY too suspicious.
