Reply to all down voters. Are you scared to write a reply to what I said? Clicking is easier, and following herd is easier than asking questions with an open mind. Just because you're reading HN does not make you smarter.
Watch this:
ps. I do not care about down votes. I care about people giving serious thought about what others might have to say. Down voting for me is kind of censorship act. I believe up voting weeds out (pushes bottom) bad comments anyway.
If you know where the attack has really come from you do not really invest serious resources on something marginally effective and relative. TSA is that, irrelevant, however it is a tool to instigate and keep alive terrorization. I was trying to explain why TSA is ineffective at the core for the purpose we think it and what the TSA guy could only be correct.
As a side note, I do not think HN is a relevant place to post this article we are commenting on anyway, and in general it is off topic. I started to hang around on HN almost from its first days for the sole purpose of reading about techies and startups.
All this has been a farce. They wanted to paralyze people scaring with stories. TSA is just another tool to do that.
Edit after down votes: What this TSA guys says is correct, it is very difficult to stop any seriously thought security breach. The reason behind existence of TSA as we know it is not what we expect it to do. It is not designed in sprit to do that. That is the reason it renders itself ineffective.
