This is seriously something that should NEVER happen in the USA. The mentality is “Suspects are guilty. If they weren’t guilty they wouldn’t be suspects would they?” If anyone needed any more proof that the terrorists won, this is it. Our way of life changed to one of paranoia and it pisses me off.
Let us assume that someone wants to hijack a plane tomorrow and that they have done all the prep work needed for them to get onto the plane, and had been through enough training to be able to fly it. That person would be met with massive resistance from the rest of the passengers. The mob mentality would kick in, and those other passengers would likely end up dispatching the would be hijacker directly to his or her diety.
The real purpose of the TSA? Security Theatre. By the way, this alone means the terrorists won and that truly saddens me.
