Airport Security in US
This has been bothering me for a while, but today I got really annoyed. What is wrong with US airport security checks? Here are some really illogical behaviors:
- You can 't bring a bottle of water in your carry on luggage. But you can put it in your pants pocket, and nobody will know, since metal detection machine obviously does not recognize water.
- Why can't you bring water in the first place? Because some idiot wanted to smuggle explosives in a water bottle? So now - the same idiot can't put it in a smaller bottle in his pocket?
- You can bring small bottles of liquids in a plastic zip bag. So a TSA person will look at your little bottles, and will approve them. So that of course prevents you from taking a small bottle of eye solution, for example, and fill it with whatever you want. Give me a break!
- And why can you bring a small bottle and not a big one? I can just pour the same amount of liquids into 3 small bottles with different labels.
- Taking off shoes?! So tomorrow somebody will try to bring a bomb in his underwear, we all will have to take off our underwear?!
My point is - this system is so stupid, all it does - it makes normal people life really annoying, and does not prevent from anybody to smuggle anything anyway, if they really want to.
By the way - there is no logic in taking your laptop out the bag either.
US should learn from Israel. In Tel Aviv International Airport - nobody asks you to take off your shoes, to take out your laptop, or not to bring any bottles. But - there is a trained person standing next to security line, who pulls out of the line everybody who looks suspicious, and examines their luggage more carefully.
That's the only way to prevent terror attacks, not to create patterns that everybody can learn and go around.
