Man blamed for N.J. airport security breach arrested
Haisong Jiang, 28, is a Ph.D. student at Rutgers and crossed under the security rope to kiss his girlfriend goodbye. The breach forced the closure of the terminal for 6 hours while passengers were re-scanned and also caused air traffic to back up around the world. Yes Jiang deserves every bit of the $500 fine but let's reflect on everything the TSA did wrong:
- The TSA guard responsible for the exit left his post. Despite the TSA being non-unionized, he is currently being defended by the AFGE union
- There were no one-way exit stiles like nearly every subway system has - just a rope.
- The TSA surveillance cameras at the security checkpoint did not work - they had to use backup Continental cameras.
This is not security - it's security theater. And Mark Steyn has some thoughts on the case.
Sad news: Longtime moron commenter rightwingprof has died from lung cancer
A Facebook page has been set up with memorial details. Maybe not - Rightwingprof has shown up claiming he's still alive. He could still be a zombie though so stay out of biting range.
Update: Okay apparently there are two rightwingprofs - one was a professor of linguistics who used to comment here until he got too sick and one who came later (Rightwingprof) who is a professor of finance and very much alive. Mystery cleared up now.
