The transportation Security Administration (TSA) is going to x-ray cargo which will also delay the shipment of cargo. It's say that this is for security. Well, I think this is a waste tax money. Why do I say this since it for security?
Well, X-ray are use to detect large container that may contain let say weapon of mass destruction (WMD). So why is checking for WMD stupid? Well, just think about, who the hell is stupid enough to actually let go of their WMD which cost billion of dollar, put it on a airline and have it go through a dozen checkpoint. Do you really think something that cost a billion dollar will end back up to you if go through this procedure? And if someone actually do ship their WMD, it would be reinforce with layer and layer of steel so that X-ray are useless.
Homeland Security even say that the TSA did a poor job of overseeing this inspection. What does this say? To me, it say that United States like to spent money doing useless thing instead of using it on hot issue like medicare.
