Recent Events - Airplane Bathroom Cameras

Re: Recent Events - Airplane Bathroom Cameras

The girl admittedly stated that the whole incident took only 20 seconds.

It's just reminds me of when I'm working on someones computer. They act like it's the end of the world. Yet I'm not going to be there every day disturbing their work space. It's only for a couple of hours, if that.

Sometimes you need to remind people of the of the larger picture. Yes it's disturbing right now, but in a couple of hours you won't even remember that I was here. It's a few necessary moments out of your life, IMHO suck it up, and move on.

In the case of the woman in question, it was 20 seconds, was it necessary, that my friend is certainly debatable.

I compulsively edited my post Thorn sorry and added some clarity.

I still feel someone who is truly innocent, as well as unaware, makes a good test subject, perhaps the purest test subject.

The way it's handled afterward is very important however. During the Milgram experiment there was extensive counseling with the staff and the actor portrayed as the test subject.

I do agreed that it's controversial. There should have been a plan in place, if there was a plan at all.

How does making a false accusation as a "joke" when the officer knows it's patently false help the TSA test anything? If you're talking about having a blind test of the officer, and using an innocent subject as bait (i.e. a double blind) that may have some validity on paper, but a failure on the part of the security forces can still lead to bad consequences for the innocent party.

I do see your point, for example, picking a person who has an undiagnosed heart condition, and from the stress of being accused, drops dead as a result.

You could hire actors do to this. People who can cry on cue, stuff like that. Actors however cost money, and it comes back again to people wanting everything, and not wanting to either participate, or pay for it.

Perhaps the lesson that needs to be learned by everyone is there are no guarantees, no matter how hard you try you can't predict peoples behavior. A psychologist friend of mine told me that she constantly has schools contacting her to certify that students who make threats won't carry them out. She won't take the cases because it's just the schools trying to pass on the liability to another party, and it's impossible to predict behavior in general, 100% of the time.

We also need to teach people how to think, and respond, rather than react. It's an up hill battle, as our education system fails at this. Folks want a trouble-shooting flowchart for life, and when dealing with human behavior there simply isn't one.

I hate to say this, but pics or it didn't happen. I honestly don't believe the story and was expecting Bat Boy on one of the site's pages.

...Of course, we believe that the people that work for the TSA will always behave in the most professional and mature manner.
