TSA Pats Down 3-Year-Old 1135

3-year-old Mandy Simon started crying when her teddy bear had to go through the X-ray machine at airport security in Chattanooga, Tenn. She was so upset that she refused to go calmly through the metal detector, setting it off twice. Agents then informed her parents that she "must be hand-searched." The subsequent TSA employee pat down of the screaming child was captured by her father, who happens to be a reporter, on his cell phone. The video have left some questioning why better procedures for children aren't in place. I, for one, feel much safer knowing the TSA is protecting us from impressionable minds warped by too much Dora the Explorer.

Comment Remove all electroncis from the accelerator (Score 0, Flamebait) 345

Remove all electroncis from the accelerator mechanism. Including Cruise Control. All electronics fail, way too often for comfort. Electronics are fine for radios, air conditioning, moving your mirrors...but they have absolutely no place in between the driver and the accelerator, the brakes and the steering. All critical functions should be mechanical. By Law!

The simple answer is: The reason for unintended accleration is the first idiot who decided to put electronics between the accelerator and the engine. This is by far the stupidest design decision I have ever witnesssed. S/he and everyone else who have participated in this moronic scam should be jailed for manslaughter or murder. IMHO There should be no "fly by wire" in any automobile ever. PERIOD!
