Think It's Only Your Panties The TSA Thugs Are Searching?
In Rochester, they searched a woman's car. Berkeley Brean writes at WHEC:

Rochester, N.Y. -- She says she had no warning that someone was going to search her car after she left to catch her flight. So the woman contacted News10NBC.

We found out it happened to her because she valet parked her car. Those are the only cars that get inspected.

So if security feels it is necessary to search some cars in the name of safety, why not search all of them?

Laurie Iacuzza walked to her waiting car at the Greater Rochester International Airport after returning from a trip and that's when she found it -- a notice saying her car was inspected after she left for her flight. She said, "I was furious. They never mentioned it to me when I booked the valet or when I picked up the car or when I dropped it off."

Iacuzza's car was inspected by valet attendants on orders from the TSA. But why only valet parked cars? That's what News10NBC wanted to ask the TSA director about. We reached him by phone.

Berkeley Brean asked, "Are the cars in the short term lots and long term lots getting searched as well?"

John McCaffery, TSA, said, "No, those vehicles that are in the garage, short term long term parking, even if they carry pretty large amounts of explosives, they would not cause damage to the front of the airport. But for those who use the valet, the car could be there for a half hour or an hour so there is a vulnerability."

Morons. If someone wants to blow something up, why go where all the blue-suited hamburger workers are? There are countless places in America where large-scale damage could be caused. Are we going to change our entire way of life because one of them might -- might -- be a target?

Or, does it make sense to do what I have suggested all along: Not treating every single American as a plausible suspect behind a terrorist plot (even if they're 6 and disabled), but using trained intelligence officers to do actually intelligence work using probable cause to find probable suspects and pay attention to them.

Waiting till somebody with a bomb in their trunk shows up at the airport and having a parking valet search the car? This is security? Really? Really?

Valets are probably very, very good at parking cars. But I'm guessing there's a reason they aren't going through intensive training at Quantico.
