Iif terrorists were actually that big of a threat they would simply blow up the massive security line out in front of security.

In Schiphol Airport at least you keep your shoes on (not boots, shoes), and electronics can stay in your bag. The bag goes through a kind of MRI and that’s enough for them to see the difference vs older x-ray equipment. Pretty convenient
Yes, but now we cannot bring our water anymore. Any idea why that changed?
Fun fact, in Europe you dont have to remove your shoes, yet noone has bombed any planes.
Flew back from Mexico last week and got to keep my shoes on. We all survived
That's because you got lucky and boarded an Airbus.
Unfortunately, it was a 737 Max. So maybe I got lucky.
Yeah, but only because they didn't let you bring a water bottle! Imagine what would happen if you could just carry liquid onto the plane!!1!1!1!
Ay least electronics in registered baggage is not a joke. Once we travelled with big group of scuba divers. And one diver had his torch in the cabin bag. It was wrapped into socks to prevent it from breaking. Some way the torch got turned on. (Scuba diving torches are really powerful, thus heat decently). As a result socks heated up and smoke appeared in the whole plane. Nobody had any idea where the smoke is coming from. The personnel was running back and forth trying to find where it comes from. Their arms were shaking. No result. Even though alcohol on board was only for extra charge, personnel started offering it for free to passengers (probably to calm them down).
Eventually one of scuba divers decided to check his cabin bag. After opening it the huge amount of smoke rushed out of the bag.
It ended up well. It's good that it wasn't in the baggage section of the plane, coz fire could have started in there.
So electronics in baggage prohibition is no joke.
I initially thought you meant like a cutting torch and was very concerned, but then remembered torch is also used to refer to flashlights/handheld lights lol
...Which is something that TSA would fully allow onto the plane and might not even qualify as "electronics" to be removed during checkin.
That's not dropping all the protocols, it's upgrading everyone to PreCheck
Having kids was that moment for me. Let me tell you: with children you are allowed to take as much liquid as you want through security. Even boiling water, to prepare formula 😂
I was like "WHAT? Why do you take it away for other passengers?" Just so they have to buy shitty, overpriced beverages, or what?
pro tip, you are allowed to bring empty bottles that you can fill up in the bathroom sinks
I know. More and more airports even have water dispensers for that reason. But I've been to airports, where I'd rather not drink the tap water, be it for the taps themselves, the water quality or the water taste.
That's because no parent would ever be a terrorist. What kind of a heartless monster would put their kids in danger?
terrorist organizations begin recruiting single mothers...
America thrives off of marketing a sense of security. That's one of the ways they gain ownership of your soul and humanity.
I hear they are eating cats and dogs.
What if a terrorist organization just recruits a straight christian white dude. I doubt TSA would check him too closely.
Hate to break it to you but straight Christian white dudes are pretty much THE demographic for domestic terrorist
Edit : I am a straight Christian white dude
I am a straight Christian white dude

Well as long as he's wearing a maga cap
Security funding is just art funding filtered through fear.
Of course. How do you think it worked before Dubya’s jobs program went into effect?
