Want some fun? Try
explaining to some $5/hr security guard that he cannot open your briefcase
because he is not cleared to inspect its classified contents, nor is his
boss or a local cop, that they'll have to call in the FBI.


It is obvious that you only operate on the fringes of "sensitive" work.

It is easy to explain to a (5$/hr) security guard that he cannot open your
briefcase. The security guards *do* get some training.


If you have ever had a problem, then you really need to look at yourself.
Why were you unable to convince the officer that the contents of your
briefcase were sensitive?

Never claimed otherwise.

Then why was one of my subordinates detained for 6 hours?

Nope! If the person has proper identification and credentials, and is
dressed in a business suit, it should be sufficient.

Not if that person looks to be of Arab descent...

I don't know. He should have simply been refused admission.

That is absolute rubbish!!! The 9/11 hijackers could easily have satisfied
your criteria.

The 9/11 hijackers had US DoD ID badges and courier cards? I don't think so.
But, in any event, airport security didn't stop them then nor would it stop
them now. The problem was in the air. A hijacking had always meant a
little time spent in Cuba or other unintended destination but loss of life
had been very seldom. Hence air crews were trained to accomodate hjackers
willingly. And that's what happened in all but the last plane. That policy
has changed. I doubt 5 (?) hijackers could seize control of a plane
carrying 100+ people with box cutters today.

Muslims , around the world, are aggressive towards their neighbors
(Philippines ,Thailand, Bali ,Kashmir, Israel , The Sudan, Algeria ,
France, Lower Manhattan ) and have been since their inception (the invasion
of Spain in 711 and France in 732-etc.,etc.). At the root is Mohammed, who
killed those who disagreed with him, and his Koran calling for the murder
of those who will not "submit". This is less a religion than priestly
theocratic fascism, and free peoples need to treat it as we dealt with
similar threats.
