P.C. Makes You Stupid, Pisses People Off, Fails to Keep Anyone Safe

President Obama has asked his crack security officials if they can think of better ways of screening airline passengers than accosting tots and probing granny's crannies. Alas, they cannot conceive of even a single one. From the Ceeb:

..."I understand people's frustrations," Obama said, while acknowledging that he's never had to undergo the stepped-up screening methods.

Passengers at some U.S. airports must pass through full-body scanners that produce a virtually naked image. If travellers refuse, they can be forced to undergo time-consuming fingertip examinations, including of clothed genital areas and breasts, by inspectors of the same sex as the passenger.

Obama said he's told the U.S. Transportation Security Administration it has to "constantly refine and measure whether what we're doing is the only way to assure the American people's safety. And you also have to think through, are there ways of doing it that are less intrusive."

At this point, he said, agency and counterterrorism experts have told him the current procedures are the only ones they think can effectively guard against threats such as last year's attempted Christmas-day bombing...

Used to be America had the kind of can-do attitude that could land a man on the moon. Today, they can't even figure out how to keep jihadi bombs off airplanes.

Hey, guys, it's not like you have to reinvent the wheel or anything. All you have to do is borrow/adapt the Israeli paradigm, which has already been shown to be effective. (But which, being un-p.c., will be ignored in favour of probing and groping lots more tots and grannies.)

Update: More crack "security" from TSA security mavens--flight attendant forced to remove prosthetic breast.
