And you call that airport security?

The US TSA has previously been called to account for the way it operates the so-called security system at US airports.

Once again, it is challenged in the way it conducts its operations at aiports.

"Recent lapses in security by the TSA, including a Nigerian-American man who has apparently flown repeatedly with false boarding passes, have made it a rough week for the agency charged with protecting the public from terrorists and others.

Other recent mishaps include:

The company that makes airport scanners say they’re safer than eating a banana. But some scientists with an expertise in imaging and cancer now say that the evidence made public to support these claims is unreliable and suggest that may be why the TSA won’t make the machines available for independent testing.

ProRepublica also reports that security officials have briefed domestic and foreign airline officials about the possibility of terrorist groups finding ways to implant explosive devices in humans to blow up passenger jets. That was prompted by the implementatin of the controversial body scanners that can see under clothing.

The Nigerian-American man who called himself a “frequent traveler” was overlooked by the TSA (Transportation Security Administration).

He was only caught because he smelled bad but his case of almost comically evading airport security has a serious side that officials are still struggling to sort out.

But it’s gotten worse for the TSA, which is still reeling over its decision to force a 95-year-old woman in a wheelchair to take off her adult diaper when she went through security in Florida.

The arrested stowaway, Olajide Oluwaseun, has apparently been repeatedly flying around the country on false boarding passes. He is now in custody and charged with being a stowaway, a felony that could land him five years in jail."

Robert Fisk's predictions for the Middle East in 2013

There is no gain-saying that Robert Fisk, fiercely independent and feisty to boot, is the veteran journalist and author covering the Middle East. Who doesn't he know or hasn't he met over the years in reporting from Beirut - where he lives?  In his latest op-ed piece for The Independent he lays out his predictions for the Middle East for 2013. Read the piece in full, here - well worthwhile - but an extract... "Never make predictions in the Middle East. My crystal ball broke long ago. But predicting the region has an honourable pedigree. “An Arab movement, newly-risen, is looming in the distance,” a French traveller to the Gulf and Baghdad wrote in 1883, “and a race hitherto downtrodden will presently claim its due place in the destinies of Islam.” A year earlier, a British diplomat in Jeddah confided that “it is within my knowledge... that the idea of freedom does at present agitate some minds even in Mecca...” So let’s say this for 2013: the “Arab Awakening” (the t

The NPT (Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty) goes on hold.....because of one non-Treaty member (Israel)

Isn't there something radically wrong here?    Israel, a non-signatory to the NPT has, evidently, been the cause for those countries that are Treaty members, notably Canada, the US and the UK, after 4 weeks of negotiation, effectively blocking off any meaningful progress in ensuring the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.    IPS reports ..... "After nearly four weeks of negotiations, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference ended in a predictable outcome: a text overwhelmingly reflecting the views and interests of the nuclear-armed states and some of their nuclear-dependent allies. “The process to develop the draft Review Conference outcome document was anti-democratic and nontransparent,” Ray Acheson, director, Reaching Critical Will, Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), told IPS. “This Review Conference has demonstrated beyond any doubt that continuing to rely on the nuclear-armed states or their nuclear-dependent allies for l

#1 Prize for a bizarre story.....and lying!

No comment called for in this piece from CommonDreams: Another young black man: The strange sad case of 21-year-old Chavis Carter. Police in Jonesboro, Arkansas  stopped  him and two friends, found some marijuana, searched put Carter, then put him handcuffed  behind his back  into their patrol car, where they say he  shot himself  in the head with a gun they failed to find. The FBI is investigating. Police Chief Michael Yates, who stands behind his officers' story,  says in an interview  that the death is "definitely bizarre and defies logic at first glance." You think?
