LA airport security has been tighten!

I remember once I brought a bunch of cubes (2x2-7x7) on a plane, and when my bag they were in went through they were staring at the monitor for like, 30 seconds thinking, "WTF?!?!?!", because on the monitors the core showed up funky or something like that.
 
The last picture made me lol. I fly a lot and that's a scene I've witnessed a few times (though in my case the cube is solved, not scrambled :p)

Knowing Chuck, he was probably doing a time-delay BLD - he memorized before putting it in the suitcase, and intended to solve it after arriving. :) (I hope the inspector didn't accidentally make a turn while checking it out! :eek:)
 
I had to experience this tightened security the day after Christmas. On all international flights inbound to USA they issued a "Lockdown Mode". So for the last hour of the flight we had to put all of our carry-on items away, turn all electronics off, and sit in our seats without ever getting up. Even going to the bathroom was forbidden.

The TSA: Protecting us from yesterday's problems, tomorrow

1. Wait for an incident to occur
2. Introduce complex new procedures and rules for the specific purpose of preventing that exact incident from happening again
3. ???
4. PROFIT?

Psst, I haven't been following the rule that says you have to take liquids out to be scanned separately. I do avoid taking large-ish containers of liquids in my carryons, but I always leave the little tubes of toothpaste/lipbalm/lotion in my bags and haven't run into problems. I've only had my things rescreened once, and that was because they found an oddly shaped USB drive and didn't know what it was.

I also (accidentally) left my cell phone on during a flight once, and the plane didn't blow up.

I have had bad luck at airports. I once forgot to take toothpaste out of my bag, no biggie. But, a few years ago in Chicago I was randomly searched because my friend looked "Nervous."

Last month in Tampa, I got a "Random" search. Of course, rather than pulling anyone else, they see a kid with longish hair, stretched ears, headphones and visible tattoos. "Z0mg dat kid mst hav drugs!1!1!ONE!."

Pissed me off.
 
I believe that the gov is going way too far with this. The US must surely have 308,264,000 terrorists living within.

I meant that they are checking everyone. As if every single one of us is a terrorist.

Anybody could be a terrorist, so making sure people aren't going to blow something up is the best way of attacking the problem.
