Here’s a story to think about the next time the TSA is groping your body and confiscating your shampoo. The New York Post reports that the city spent $100 million on a state-of-the-art security system for JFK Airport called the Perimeter Intrusion Detection System, or PIDS. But all its cameras and motion sensors were too piddling to catch Daniel Casillo. He was jet-skiing in Jamaica Bay around dusk when his ride sank. He started swimming for the only lights he could see. They were from JFK’s Runway 4. He made it to land, climbed the security fence, walked across two runways in a bright yellow life jacket, right through the PIDS system, and into Terminal 3. He was walking up to the Delta counter for help when security finally grabbed him. He’s charged with criminal trespass. Authorities may say he has a lot of questions to answer…but I’d say, so do they.
Please leave me a comment. I read them!

If the TSA is made up of the likes of 2 of them I know, then it is basically a bunch of puds, throwing around their so-called authority. It has always amazed me that these 2 could ever hold any kind of job, but then again, they have the right attitude: "I AM GOD"!

All laws made must be in pursuance of the Constitution. No AGENCY, such as TSA or EPA are mentioned in the Enumerated Powers or anywhere in the Constitution. Therefore no laws can be made about AGENCIES. This is left to the States or the people. Agencies are Constitutionally illegal.

Does it matter how many times TSA messes up? Security breach, civil rights abuse or otherwise... TSA charges the airlines to send pilots through airport security? And now I believe the TSA security tax on your airline ticket will double from $2.50 to $5.00. No accountability. Privatize please!!

They should let him go if his story is true. That is probably the only way out. So much for security, right??????? Reminds me of another border.
