Yeah.. so contrary to what their spokesperson in the CBS article said, they're testing the drinks that people bought inside the airport, PAST the TSA checkpoint. Nothing to worry about. It's all for security folks.

well at least it's a less embarrassing way to go about things even if it's just as intrusive. It beats giving old ladies a strip search or not letting a baby get through security because it has the same name as a terrorist.

Well I guess we better poison all of our drinks.

I don't think you get it. They still do that too. They're just trying to exert more control and intimidate people with more meaningless "security" measures. The police state continues to form.

Is it the NWO?

This is pretty annoying for certain. Luckily I don't travel by air, the TSA is an utter joke in my book.

We are damn well already in a police state, it's just a "soft" police state at the moment, but that won't last forever. Once sh*t kicks into high gear the attitude will change dramatically.

I'm glad I haven't flown in years.

Who cares. Why do you even need to bring a drink with you on an airplane? Your fatass can wait until you land to fill your body with sugary garbage.

TSA POWAH!!!

yeah, but they're still doing that, too.

TSA are such a waste of money. Can we please take their budget and put it toward something helpful like education or NASA?Ace6301

That'd be great. Considering that they've literally done nothing to help with security. There's been more weapons and bombs snuck past security since the establishment of the TSA than there was before.

Looks to me like the terrorists have won

There's always somebody who misses the point entirely in these kinds of topics, I shouldn't be surprised someone would come up with that as a response.

Test away I have nopthing to hide. If they go this route and leave my ass alone personally i say go for it.

How do you know they weren't drinking water or tea? :?

Not to mention the fact that most of the drinks were probably going to be finished or in the garbage before boarding the flight anyways. They were literally approaching people sitting down in the gate area and demanding that they have their drink tested.

They try and do that to me while I wait for a flight and I'll make sure they wear my drink.

It might take a bunch of people doing that to wake most of society up to where we're headed if we allow this to continue.

And it needs to be changed. If I buy a ticket from a company to travel somewhere, the government has no right to search me without probable cause. We've allowed this to go way too far. Not to mention that the TSA hasn't done a damn bit of good.

That's where you're wrong. The sheeple majority agree with you though.

It's the classic freedoms vs. safety argument, and I really don't think there's a simple answer. I don't like them doing this either, and honestly so many TSA workers are just people who couldn't get another job in power and want to control someone, but at the same time, if there is some sort of serious threat that these drinks could pose then I guess...What exactly is the logic for testing the drinks TC, is there some sort of homemade bomb threat?

Homemade bomb? They bought the drinks in the terminal. I can see no logic to it at all. Just sinister control freaks doing what they can to harass people.

Don't like it? Don't bring drinks with you or better yet, don't fly.

They bought the drinks at the shops in the terminal dumbass.

Totalitarian police state governments exist too. Should we just gladly decide to live under one? This is the type of stuff that happens when they're ramping up.

I don't mind airport security, but i hate the attitude that it approaches people with. It seems like for airports and the staff, it's less about safety of other passengers and more paranoia that everyone could be a terrorist. All the security at every airport i've been too looks and talks so hostile like everyone is up to no good.FrostyPhantasm

More BS "security" being imposed on air travellers. It's a shame.
