minus-squareTamo240@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26·4 months agoThe goal is not to stop the people in the queue being attacked, its to stop someone boarding a plane with the means to hijack it
minus-squarenednobbins@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up52·4 months agoThey fail gloriously at at that too. Whenever they get tested the red teams manage to smuggle in everything needed to hijiack a plane plus a kitchen sink. The few times that terrorists tried to board planes, they made it through security and were caught by other passengers.
minus-squareFinal Remix@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·4 months agoThat’s what’s changed. Before, a hijacking meant a free trip to south America or Cuba. Now it means you’re likely to die if you don’t stop the hijackers. A planeful of pissed off passengers determined to live are gonna stop a would-be hijacker.

minus-squareWes4Humanity@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 months agoTrue, although those seemed like pretty seriously incompetent attempts
minus-squareLiz@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·4 months agoYeah, and you don’t need the TSA for that. Just do as they already do: lock the cockpit.
minus-squareKyuubiNoKitsunelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·4 months agoThey had to do something about the plague of people hijacking planes with bottles of water.
minus-squareTamo240@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·4 months agoIIRC water happens to appear similarly to a lot of explosives on the metric they use for what the composition of items in the scanner is. Improvements are being made though so soon we may be allowed to take water through unrestricted: Why Airport Security Suddenly Got Better (13:01) https://youtu.be/nyG8XAmtYeQ?si=RTjA8GRuZaMIJs9d
minus-squareMaggoty@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 months agoAh yes, it’s okay if we die, just don’t take the corporate infrastructure with you when you go…
