When you're willing to put your kids on a non-TSA flight.
- fein 15y agoPeople are willing to take their kids on non TSA cruises, to non TSA malls, and to non TSA public schools. These are all larger and easier targets than an airplane, so where is the rationale for worry?
- henrikschroder 15y agoAre there actually any significant number of people that are acually pleased with the TSA, the naked scanners, the intrusive patdowns, and the bigger security theater? I can see people being fooled by the theater and grudgingly accept it, but does anyone like it and think it should be expanded?
- anigbrowl 15y agoLots of people like it. To the extent that it inconveniences them, they wish it were directed solely at Muslim-looking foreigners, but are willing to accept the security theater because they have a siege mentality. Similarly, there's a good number of people that call for ever more draconian enforcement of immigration laws, despite both economic costs and significant inconvenience to US citizens, Latinos in particular. The US frankly has a bit of a security fetish; you might find this paper interesting: http://tuvalu.santafe.edu/~bowles/GarrisonAmerica2007.pdf http://tuvalu.santafe.edu/~bowles/GarrisonAmerica2007.pdf
- CWuestefeld 15y agoWhen such a flight is one of the choices available to get to my destination, I'd be willing to pay additional just to continue to enjoy my human rights and dignity. Yes, I'll put my entire family on a non-TSA flight. In fact, I would prefer it.
- eli 15y agoAn airport with no TSA and no kids is just too good to be true!
- cchurch 15y agoI'm embarrassed that my children only have TSA flights available. This is not how Americans live.
