Boyfriend, "Security" Reminiscing
Gregg just said to me, looking back on our trip to Paris and our Amsterdam flight connection:
Just think, just a week ago we were getting off the plane to be rescreened.
(Somebody had left a door open at the Amsterdam airport and they saw this as cause for alarm, not just cause for what it should have been -- shutting the door so it wouldn't get cold in the airport.)







If I was an annoyist think terrorist but less terror, more annoy. I would construct devices and plans in which to muck up security screenings.
A device that automatically opens doors at random times.
Sheet Metal and a "gun" cookie cutter design. Some strategic dropping of said gun cookies into passengers bags and coats.
Liberal spraying of "Eau de Essence of Ammonium Nitrate" on to people and bags into airport.
The door thing is ridiculous. With some proper planning and procedures (logical) different levels of security could be set up. So if a security breach like this happens a whole airport does not need to be slowed down or stopped.
Fun spray paint templates. Like bomb, Arabic script, gun, etc. Spray on baggage and various items. Watch the illogic and head scratching begin.
But I forgot the whole place is run by the KeyStone Kops airport division.

Question: How do you justify wasting millions of dollars on "Security Theatre" (aka TSA)?
Answer: Make belive that even the most insignificant event is a major terrorist threat.

John Paulson, how about this:
Take a block of a white cheese, spray it with your "Eau de Essence of Ammonium Nitrate", solder a couple of wires to a buss fuse, stick fuse into block of cheese, add a watch/pager/cell phone, and slip that into someone's bag.
Be sure to step well away while the stuff hits the fan.

If I was an evil genius. Well more evil then alread. Already have the genius part down. You could come up with a multitude of annoyist schemes.
Find the name and details of workers at airport. Join them up to antigovernment sites and terrorist linked sites. Post some comments of said persons plans.
See who is coming over for a trip. Spoof some social media comments from said person like "Wanna dig up Marylin Monroe's body" or going to get whacked on smack when I get to Los Vegas.
Drop misc notes and papers with PLANS around airport. People like to snoop.
Rather then "Eau de bomb" how about "Eau de Marry Jane" for the drug sniffing dogs.
Hit the dollar store and buy a whole bunch of finger nails clippers and box cutters. Give as presents, add them the to a nice going away gift packs. Drop in to bags, pockets. I bet with a little pile of 4 or 5 knives/box cutters sort of hidden some place where security is will cause some conception fits.
Start an airplane watcher club, provide FREE refreshments and equipment like cameras and binoculars. Have the mebers make lots of visits to the airport. Remember the first rule of Airplane club is "No talking about airplane club."
Confuse the people.
Itching powder! Why is that person in the security line scratching themselves? Are they hiding something?
Drop friends and people off at the airport and give sombre and emotional good byes. Dress the part.
These ideas, were off the top of my head in the last few minutes. I bet with some proper planning and thinking an annoyist group could shut down or screw up any airport security.

Leave the box cutters at home and just leave the packaging on top of the trash in a few places at the airport.

Thanks for that. Had to look up malaprop. Took another glance. Whoops and LOL. Really LOL! The image of security guards/TSA thugs getting down to "conception fits" in the airport.
What I meant to say is conniption.
