Airport Security A Joke?!?!?!

I found an interesting article that raises questions about how effective airport screening really is.

For those of us who have travelled via commercial airlines with any regularity, we don't need a so-called 'expert' to tell us that all of the hoops and getting jerked around that the public has to go through under TSA screening procedures speaks more to the illusion of safety than anything substantive. Maybe now that the media is starting to give these 'experts' some time in the light, the public will begin to see how silly the constant barrage of "don'ts" from TSA really is. And hopefully, that will spark some pressure against the current security regime.

The media has been saying from day one how retarded and ineffective the new rules are as far as I've seen.

 

One of the few times I've agreed with them for the most part.

I bet any one of us on here could easily figure out how to get a weapon on a plane, if we wanted to.

 

If they want some security, they should give everyone a 2-3" knife as they get on the plane. I'd like to see someone try to hijack an airplane with 100+ armed people on it.

Thats what the terrorist will do, until they accomplish the task. These cowards have no respect for anyones life, even if it is a practice run. Even if they get on a plane without a weapon, they have made progress.

The only thing I have seen that may do some good is them putting armed personnel on the planes. But even with that, if you only have one or two people on a plane with 5 or 6 people trying to do some damage, even that won't do any good.

Screw knives, encourage everyone to carry a gun. An armed society is a polite society.

      New Member Just Bought a Vtrux

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.

      Like others have said, they will all leak. Mainly at the corners.   I have owned several and the best has been my current one. Revolver x4

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      About 8 months after an alignment job by the dealer I started experiencing a pretty significant clunk in the front end on hard left hand turns usually parking lot speeds almost at lock.  Occasionally get the same on hard rights too.   Discovered that the lower control arm attachment bolts are TTY and only to be used for a single use. And then I found some evidence of a TSB that indicates you can over torque those fasteners to about 130 foot pounds.   Asked a local shop to investigate and they found 3 out of four bolts loose and retorqued.   I've ordered the MOOG    K100421 lower control arm bolt kit that is completely reusable and not TTY.    Is the 80 ft pounds a realistic number?  Anyone have experience with those bolts?

      Brake Bleeding Procedure on 2026 Silverado 2500

      By davester · Posted

      subscribe to alldata.com, that will have gm's brake bleeding procedure.  and what you have to do likely varies, as if you just replaced a caliper and the MC didn't go dry, you most likely can just do a normal bleed on that corner, but if you disconnected lines at the MC or the abs unit, or let the MC run dry while doing work, you'll have to do a more extensive/complicated bleeding procedure.
