vyelkin posted:FAMS effectiveness against crime and terror, has also been questioned. According to Congressman John J. Duncan, the air marshal program has led to only 4.2 arrests a year, at an average cost of $200 million per arrest. He argued that this represents a win of the perceived dangers of terror, supported by a profit center-type approach, over realistic spending priorities.[39][40] how many of those arrests are just some guy getting too drunk and rowdy? 99%?

vyelkin posted:According to that same congressman quoted in the Wikipedia, basically the only security change since 9/11 that has actually helped to stop any future 9/11 is that now they lock the cockpit doors in airplanes. Everything else is just billions of dollars thrown away on security theatre. The locking reinforced door allowed a German pilot to murder-suicide his entire flight. It's bizarre that before that they didn't require one other person to be in the cockpit at all times.

As with Malaysia 370 I'm not sure there's a lot one could do if a pilot decides to kill himself and everyone else

in 2004, Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry entered the village grocery store in Buchanan, Ohio and asked store owners Paul and Debra McKnight, “Can I get me a hunting license here?” Kerry bought the license for $140. Though Kerry was actually a hunter, the sight of a Boston patrician speaking in an exaggerated rural dialect was seen by many rural Americans as disingenuous, patronizing and downright insulting. Along these same lines, in 2007, Republican presidential aspirant Mitt Romney told a voter: “I purchased a gun when I was a young man. I’ve been a hunter pretty much all my life.” It was later reveled that Romney had only hunted twice in his life. In an effort to ameliorate the damage, Romney later said: “I’m not a big-game hunter. I’ve made that very clear. I’ve always been a rodent and rabbit hunter. Small varmints, if you will.”

Remember the time he had a meeting with Vietnam vets and it devolved into him claiming Agent Orange was "that stuff from that movie" (napalm in Apocalypse Now) and Trump polled the room to see if he was wrong or not and when he lost the vote said "well I think you just didn't like the movie".
