Nothing TSA does makes sense.
Tell the Troops where the off limits area are and they'll go there just to prove they can; tell smart attackers where you're 'clamping down' and they'll find other routes. :rolleyes:
Sigh.:mad:
We're insane. Really...
An opinionated Muslim (UK) viewpoint
Somewhat long and challenging on the Saudi role, but makes a series of points on the 'new' TSA actions, under the title: 'Muslim profiling is a recipe for insecurity: The profiling of ordinary Muslims loses the support of the very people we need to contain al-Qaeda'.

Legal capabilities available vs those used
The last few posts point up a problem that permeates the entire "Small Wars" arena. The Laws of War and the Rule of Law - as rationally and reasonably interpreted, and which are available to the US for those who think it through - provide all of the capabilities needed. Unfortunately, those who are doing the deciding seem fixated on a "one or the other approach" - using the Laws of War only, or using the Rule of Law only.
