In the event you were planning on putting an atomic bomb in your pocket during your next flight you may get caught. Never mind congress has cleared the way for nuclear powered unmanned drones to fly over our heads and look in our windows.   Forget that thousands of hand held surface to air missiles some us made are missing from the various wars on terror. And our troops are inhaling depleted uranium (DU) dust.

Governments around the world have had a long history of conducting experiments on soldiers, prisoners and citizens.  Germans are known for being fastidious record keepers and, as result, many  WW-II records survived for historians and researchers. Sadly, the U.S. government appears to have picked up where the Japanese, Germans and Russians left off.  The FDA has opened the door for mass medication and irradiation for non-medical purposes.  

While TSA is checking your trousers looking for "terrorists" our flight crews often operate with little or broken sleep putting us all at risk. Airline flight crews are Flight Crew stress a greater risk than terrorism.

TSA rather than squeezing your equipment or selecting and irradiating your "cute" wife for "random" AIT inspection could be checking tons of cargo under your feet. Congress asked for this in 2005, we are still waiting... Six tons of unchecked cargo on board are a larger risk than 3 oz of breast milk for some hungry baby. TSA needs to stay on task and do real security work behind the scene or be phased out, let the private airlines handle security.
