TSA Takes Play-Doh From Child

Good! I mean, really! We know terrorists like adding religious-based irony, setting panties on fire on Dec 25, and taking the fun out of Christmas presents.
Put the play doh in your checked bags. I wouldn't want to sit next to some brat spreading that stuff all over.

Agreed. I'm sure the kid was upset but the parents should know better. Someone always trying to push the system. Like it or not, it is what it is.
What a bunch of buffoons.
The terrorists must be astonished that we are so weak. We set up a system that allows a murderous thug on a plane with explosives stitched into his underwear, and that denies innocent children harmless toys, and call it "security".
Until we get serious about targeting the actual people that blow up airliners, we put many innocent people at unjustifiable risk of a needless death.

Of course I'm referring to profiling.
It's obvious who is hijacking and blowing up airliners right now, and it's not blue haired Presbyterian grandmothers, or kids with Play Doh.
Forcing the mohammed crowd to try to enlist people of a different profile would be a success in and of itself, and if they can, then just go after those people too.
This is hardly rocket science.

There is no reason to profile little kids with toys, yet. Unless that is another story hidden away...
If someone could break a gun down into six smaller parts each too small to get detected by the metal detector and then reassemble on the plan you bet they'd try. Remember everything that makes it past security can get traded amongst the passengers and assembled into something evil.
Even if the plastique playdoh is being held by an innocent kid someone else might have a fuse disguised as a pants drawstring.
True security reform would start with requiring airlines to check two fullsize bags for FREE so we don't have people cramming all their toiletries in the overhead bins and reducing carryons to ESSENTIALS. (Screening would go lots faster too!) Kids could, uh, read books or look out the window.

NO, he won't sing a different song.
Our best shot, what makes the most common sense, and what is proven as a sure fire weeding out process is racial profiling.
We have to be brain dead to not recognize this.

Did the kid say "Allahu Akbar"? Probably not. Terrorists know the above statement and are trying desperately to recruit the anglo looking non accent speaking.
Unfortunately freedom and security are on the opposite end of each other. Its not a matter of having one, the other or both but rather a livable option between the two.

They have been trying very hard, especially for the last decade, and someone that looks like me (blond hair and blue eyes) with a name like John Smith still has not boarded a commercial passenger aircraft with a bomb strapped to his body.

I've never held 'plastic explosives' myself, but I have held gobs of Play-Doh before, and I'd be willing to bet they feel and smell probably nothing alike..
Of course, the security 'officer' has probably never played with real plastic either, but who knows?
Profiling sucks, even if it works.

Now the TSA is firing a few for illegal drugs and one saying, "I am god, I’m in charge."
