Is it just me or does airport security checks seem really stupid.
Airport security checks create a cluster of people in a condensed area. All you need to do is go into line and wait till you're near the middle then detonate the bomb. You don't even need to go on a plane to cause massive casualties.
The reason is so bombs and objects to take over a plane can't be brought on board. If terrorists take control of a plane, they could cause a lot more damage
If all you wanted to do was blow up a bomb in a condensed area of people, you could do far better than an airport.
The point of airport security is to keep people from travelling illegally and transporting illegal things, as well as to keep the actual flights themselves safe (because another airplane-based attack would cause an especially high amount of public panic since 9/11.)
Blowing up a line of people doesn't necessarily send the same frightful message as blowing up a plane sends. Terrorists want to cause the enemy to fear them, not just rack up a body count (while that's definitely a contributor)
What? Last time I checked a bunch of dead people are a bunch of dead people. I don't know about you but I be just as damn scared of a bomb blowing up off of a plane.
But when they blow up planes the masses only think that traveling by plane is less safe than other forms, not that they (the masses) are unsafe in general. The airports set up security measures to curb it thus creating an easy, if flawed, "fix" to the problem. If people are killed while waiting to enter security to enter the plane, how would they create another security measure to stop that without recreating the same problem?
Would you be more afraid to fly if planes were sometimes hijacked/attacked mid-flight, or would you be more afraid if you weren't even safe in the airport before security checks everyone?
I'm not saying that they should have NO security measures, I'm only saying that there isn't any way to stop them from killing, only a way to hinder them from using the plane itself as a weapon.
I'm not detracting from the actual level of safety involved. I am entirely aware that lives are valuable on or off planes (I shouldn't even have to explain that)
I'm simply saying that to a modern population watching the news, destroyed planes tends to resonate in their minds.
Honestly you could do that anywhere
I stand in the middle of a supermarket throwing around fake money saying "everyone get your money. Free money!". Then when they all come running I detonate my suicide bomb and blow them all up.
Then I'd respawn and Ideally I'd get around 30 kills, then I'd get a nuke, then I'd detonate the nuke and blow up my region.

No, we have definitely thumbed the hell out of that image and the full webm many times.
We're just aware that this is a 4chan post, and that the cardinal rule of /b/ is 'only a fool would take anything written here as fact.' It stopped being cool to point out that 4chan greentexts are fake a long time ago.
context is key
no one cares that 4chan posts are fake because they're entertaining. It's like belittling others for enjoying a nintendo game because its not realistic and gritty, no one ******* cares.
"The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact."
You're getting reds because you can't tell the difference between someone attempting to lie and someone clearly writing nonfiction for the sake of entertainment.
As a britfag im ******* glad the americunt got a huge payout. Even thou im not ignorant to tge necessity of airport security they can be cunts sometimes!
