Originally aired 11/21/10 on CTV News. Ivan Eland, Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute, explains why the controversial pat-downs and body scanners at airport security are not solutions to the more likely threats of cargo bombs.
Wouldn't it have been much cheaper to make the PLANES an UN-VIABLE method for terrorists to use as a weapon than subjecting the people (the customer) to pay the price of lost liberty? If the Planes are flying bombs than why not just take the explosive factor out of the fuel? I'm sure there is already a solution out there.
Very weak attack on the TSA and what this is about. The "cargo bomb" and all the rest are staged sting operations. If Eland cannot simply state this on Canadian TV, he should be working at Fox. It is mainstream news that the "underwear bomber" was escorted onto the plane by a US Gov official.
This is not about "over doing it." This is about the gulag in America's future.
