You get to pick which plane to board.

I'd go with Plane 1, because not all terrorists are brown people. Your xenophobia is showing.

The introductory paragraph of the multi-page document states that it is issued “in response to the growing public backlash against enhanced TSA security screening procedures and the agents conducting the screening process.” Implicit within the same section is that the recently enhanced security screening procedures implemented at U.S. airports, and the measures to be taken in response to the negative public backlash as detailed [in this directive], have the full support of the President. In other words, Obama not only endorses the enhanced security screening, but the measures outlined in this directive to be taken in response to public objections.


For “any person, group or domestic alternative media source” that actively objects to, causes others to object to, supports and/or elicits support for anyone who engages in such travel “disruptions” at U.S. airports (as defined above) in response to the enhanced security procedures, the [applicable DHS administrative branch] is instructed to identify and collect information about the persons or entities, and submit such information in the manner outlined [within this directive].

Reader note about TSA:

"wow, I'm really getting pissed at the stupidity of people now. every day you hear some new quote from a lemming, or see one on a news article, or even quoted by you, to the effect of "oh boy, at least the TSA is keeping us safe from bomb!" or "with the scanners shut down it sure would be a good time for a bomber to get through."

when will people learn? TSA HAS NEVER IN ITS HISTORY thwarted a bomb or threat on a plane. EVER! I don't need to source this, anyone can google to find out for themselves! THE WHOLE POINT of the TSA, is **NOT** to protect us from terrorists, and they never ever said they were! The whole purpose is to control EVERYONE ELSE that gets on a plane. Why? Well, I suspect the root of it all can be found in the financials of the major air flight suppliers.

it's so annoying to hear people still talk about it like this. "at least I can get on a plane without fearing for my life..." stupid, stupid idiots, all living in fear. ARGH"

Shhhh! You'll wake t'other sheep...repeat after me: Deterrence...

"As you can see, airport security is kind of a farce. It's only smoke and mirrors so you people believe there is actually something going on here," the pilot narrates.
