Schneier on Security: Conversation with Kip Hawley, TSA Administrator (Part 2)
by Decius at 11:25 am EDT, Jul 31, 2007

BS: I don't want to even think about how much C4 I can strap to my legs and walk through your magnetometers. Or search the Internet for "BeerBelly." It's a device you can strap to your chest to smuggle beer into stadiums, but you can also use it smuggle 40 ounces of dangerous liquid explosive onto planes. The magnetometer won't detect it. Your secondary screening wandings won't detect it. Why aren't you making us all take our shirts off? Will you have to find a printout of the webpage in some terrorist safe house? Or will someone actually have to try it? If that doesn't bother you, search the Internet for "cell phone gun."

I think they'd notice both of these things. Thats why you show your boarding pass to the guy on the other side of the magnetometer. He's not really looking at the boarding pass. Lots of interesting hyperlinks in this one though. Don't miss the Wine Rack. Ladies, now security screeners have an excuse for staring at your chest!

Kip's response to that would make a good TSA slogan:

(Don't forget, we see two million people a day, so we know what normal looks like.)
