But they still will treat 80 year old Jewish women the same as 20 something Muslim males.
TSA is a pathetic joke.
It might be effective if the screener yells "Allah Akbar", and then locks up every one who repeats it.

Not sure how this helps. Folks who know more than me say it does so I'm in favor. Personally? When I'm going to get on a plane my side of the conversation would go like this.
 "I got up at O'dark thirty to drive to this freaking airport, paid an assload of money to park ,and I'm drinking a five dollar cup of coffee just to stay awake. And I am now going to jam myself into an overcrowded sardine can at thirty thousand feet. I don't like heights, enclosed spaces or people in close proximity, and yet, I've shelled out $600 for the privilege. You know what else I don't like? Government fucktards with a badge and an attitude! Do ya think I'm security risk?" ;D

You'd be fine.  They're interested in folks who stand out from the rest of the crowd.  ;D

It's Boston, it's TSA, they will screw it up, and then loudly proclaim that the "Israeli" method of security does not work.
