Obviously, many of your perceived problems were resolved with private detective agencies and private security services.

So, if you apply your concerns to the TSA issue, and then think (hmm, [insert markets of private detective and security agencies]), then the issue becomes largely resolved. Maybe you'll realize something? Maybe?


Then, there's still the problems with your position against removing the TSA. I'm sure you're sincere enough to overcome your cognitive bias and open yourself to criticism and revision.

Care to explain? Which of my many perceived problems were resolved with private detective and security agencies?

You sort of left out the part where you explain what you're trying to say.

Oh, you're interested in debate?

That's great, Sym! But until I respond to your questions, you'll have to address the flaws of your TSA reform/DON"T REMOVE THE TSA!!! stance. Thus is the nature of voluntary exchange. Can't be a dick all the time, Sym! Regrettably, you're not a favored customer.


These are all relevant and against your position:

http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewto ... 0#p3908053

http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewto ... 0#p3908084


But let's get real. You're not really interested in addressing the holes in your stance, so now what? Shall we see another pithy remark falling short of wit? Maybe we'll get to see something in tune to the OT title! Maybe he'll side-step with a minor quibble! Oh, the predictability of Sym!

The TSA, it would appear, is not particularly interested in security.

My stance is that while the TSA is flawed, it shouldn't be removed. I don't think that it's a particularly radical point of view to hold.

Good dodge, Sym! But you get a 1/10 for being repetitive and dull.

Have you shifted away from your idea that airport security should be run by mall cops and film noir gumshoes? I guess it's an interesting notion, but sometimes the best answers are kind of dull.

It is regrettable that you strictly adhere to logical fallacies. One day, Sym, you may intellectually develop into an adult and be able to join others in rational debates.
