Quote: Originally Posted by SATTSO I disagree with some of what you say. If someone does not have ID I think it is very reasonable to search that person and their property. I believe you agreed with this, before? Has your opinion changed since Gilmore (I believe your stance was allow someone not to show ID and allow them to be screened as a selectee). What is an "alarm"? That's very vague. The x-ray never alarms, ever....

Quote: Originally Posted by Tom M. You are jumping through hoops to try and make a point even though you have absolutely no facts. Your basic point seems to be that because TSO's failed the test, real bomb parts could not used because "our" people are highly qualified, and very good at what they do and couldn't possibly have missed them. You are stating that the reason you know all this, is because the people, who...

Quote: Originally Posted by SATTSO FAA regulation, same as many hazmat items in checked baggage which are nit prohibited items. Those FAA regulations are enforced too. I'll explain this to you again, TSA is only authorized to keep WEI off of aircraft. What is so dang hard about that for you to understand?

Quote: Originally Posted by Superguy I think TSA would only really approve of dehydrated water. But, but, you need water to reconstitute it... We know that packing the hydrogen and oxygen in separate baggies is not going to work, either. However, bottles filled with dehydrated water are OK, but you probably shouldn't label them.

Quote: Originally Posted by AngryMiller Strikes me as being incredibly petty/weaseling out on the part of the airlines and a stretch of the regulations on the part of TSA. Touch slime and it is hard to remove. Actually, it may be more an issue of trying to shift the blame to TSA when it's not really TSA's fault at all. (Witness the initial finger-pointing in the ExpressJet Rochester incident, where initially one of the airlines...

Quote: Originally Posted by eyecue You would be suprised at the amount of pull airlines have with TSA. There is a person called a stakeholder manager that interacts with the airlines and bows to their needs. If they say they want something enforced, it will get enforced. The lighter ban is an example of an FAA rule that is still in effect but was let go of on the enforcement side. The lithium and lead acid battery ban is another one that is...

Quote: Originally Posted by Trollkiller In the case of tobacco under Texas law (may have changed) if you fail to card someone that appears under the age of 27 you could get in trouble. Note the sell of the tobacco to someone over 18 was legal, the failing to ID under 27 was illegal. If someone looks older than 27 but was under 27 and you make the sell without ID you could use the defense that they appeared older than 27. If you ask for ID for...

Quote: Originally Posted by Trollkiller I remember, or at least I think I do, that the lawsuit was dropped as long as the TSA held up their end. If I remember right I read that in a newspaper article. I will try and locate it. I was hoping it was in the record. The ACLU moved to dismiss under FRCP 41(a)(2), so the dismissal would be without prejudice. If the TSA changes their policy back, the ACLU can re-open the matter. I guess that's...
