These People Make my Head Hurt

[HoreTore]

Yes they do, they have dogs for that, can't stop all but can stop most. Expensive yes, but it's the passenger that pays for it not the tax-payer, ask them if they want to pay a little extra for that.

This is getting tedious....

No frags, they don't. They've failed in every test I have ever seen. The typical way to do it, is by sending 10 guys in with various items. Usually, they stop 6-7 of them, that means 3-4 terrorists get through at every test.

And this is before we factor in types of explosives etc that outsmarts the security checks.

A few links of failures for your enjoyment, frags, google can provide you with many more:

This is quite simply the biggest waste of money the world has ever seen.
