Reply #22: Bullshit yourself. I didn't say he was competent or smart-- [View All]

--I said that our lawmakers and most of America is incompetent and stupid because we react to what happens with knee-jerk responses (i.e. a bomb on a plane is found and we shout at TSA to do whatever needs be done to stop it), rather than trying to work out these things before implementing them. I guarantee you, if this had been put in place right after 9/11, those same lawmakers would be shouting down those who didn't want it with screams of "Traitor" and "Anti-American!"

I see hypocrisy in this roasting of TSA. I see it because those same lawmakers put TSA in control and have been happy to let them do what they wanted up till now. The mood changes and suddenly they're screaming. TSA isn't the disease. It's the symptom. We can treat it, but the disease (our fear of everyone and everything) will remain.
