If you’re not a US citizen but a visa traveler going to the U.S you have NO RIGHTS. Using a “travel cellphone” might be viewed as “suspicious” and therefore grounds to be denied entry. There are no standards or oversight for non-citizens, a TSA/Border guard can deny you entry for any reason they like. This is why European vacationers should stop going to the USA until they’re ready to treat us as actual people.

1. It’s an illusion to make you feel safer and ward any potential threats by making yourself them feel at risk. 2. Post 9/11 the likelihood of a commercial aircraft being compromised by someone is very low not due to security but the understanding that they are not getting in the cockpit and passengers will not allow it.

My mom is a former TSA agent. 🤔IF I remember correctly, I believe that she told me that agents have to take a monthly test recognizing forbidden items in a passenger’s suitcase. She said that if you failed this monthly test. You have to take another one and if you fail the 2nd test, you’re fired.

lmao no.
The razor blades that allowed the takeover of the 9/11 planes were planted aboard the planes. Post-9/11 airport security is a BJ for private security tech, just like the ACA was for insurance industry (which employs more people to deny healthcare than we have healthcare providers).

Don’t mind risk in life – and so I think TSA is way more than it needs to be. Same for similar systems all over the world (I don’t live in the US, but visit yearly). The idea that it is really mostly theatre is so disheartening. Are we all toddlers that need to be coddled and coo’d to? Yeah – I know – don’t answer that 🙁

Of the four or so times I’ve opted out of facial recognition at airports, at least twice I’ve been jokingly told “Ok but the government has your information anyways.” It took about the same amount of time to get through, the agent (TSA or Customs) just looked at my face.

No, anyone that works at the airport can probably point out a dozen different ways get through. Airport security is really just a deterrent to opportunistic threats and a notion to make the public feel safe. You’re not gonna get away with a lazy approach, but I doubt it would stop a determined threat.

Not sure what you’re talking about with clear regarding it let you skip the TSA…? It doesn’t do that. You just get to use that as the ID check part. Then you go through the regular checkpoint, or pre check if you have it.

Frankly, airport security could be just as efficient without ever having to do more than CTing your baggage. Metal detectors could be integrated unobtrousively without the passenger ever knowing they went through one. All of that theater just costs money, is ivasive, and is only there to placate the ignorant public. I am a pilot by the way and would feel just as safe without that theater. We would be just as safe without the TSA or DHS.

5:48 we already have passports!!! Is it just me?! We already have a federally issued id that is highly scrutinized to get. It’s only another bureaucratic nonsensical over step. We are essentially telling citizens they are no longer allowed to travel between states unless they pay for something else when we already have something that serves that function.

Did they talk about the guns TSA finds (or if they want to be critical maybe how many they are not finding)? Seems like an omission and something tangible to talk about . A lot of this was important discussion about privacy but not actually a great discussion about efficacy. Clear is stupid but didn’t deserve a significant amount of the video for example and isn’t really important re efficacy discussions

In Europe you have something similar to clear implemented for boarding faster. Vince Airports technology. But your image and data is deleted when you board, so you need to “log in” before every flight in the airport when you’re waiting for boarding. Much more data protection here.
@hackladdy9886
July 20, 2025 at 4:59 pm
Always deny facial recognition scans at airports when you can! They have no procedures requiring them to do additional checks if you decline, and sometimes the agents will even opt out your entire family if you ask because it also saves them time and effort.
Don’t let the government use your compliance with surveillance to justify it!

“We” didn’t create a security challenge, the Americans did. Intra-national or intra-continental flights in South America permit whole bottles of wine. Heck, flying within the Canadian northern frontier has zero security procedures, passengers simply get off at the first southern gateway city to re-board through security.

“Don’t sign up for Clear” – If that’s your advice, then you should also say don’t use bio-metrics on your cellphones. You think Apple, Google, Samsung, etc. are any more trustworthy than a company like Clear?
@jpe1
July 21, 2025 at 2:20 pm
13:04 but if you refuse then things can get out of hand. A friend of mine refused, had his phone confiscated, and now, 7 years later, he still doesn’t have his phone back and all the government will say is that they are investigating the case to see if they will bring charges against him. Government won’t say what those charges might be, or what evidence they might have.
