PAX ASIC's

Chimbu,

I usually relate to your down to earth and well thought out comments, and you have just raised a point which I always argue amongst friends.

I paid my $200 and have an ASIC, never been nabbed for anything more than a speeding ticket, and because of this I am clean, 100% safe.......or am I???? What stops me now taking on a sympathetic view to some terrorist group, joining up, and then finding some alternate uses for my $200 piece of red plastic with my face on it. (the pic makes me look like one tho ).

The problem is even the bad people were once good. Sure its going to stop know individuals, but it leaves a big hole for the new recruits to slip through.

We should all think of this, because, an ASIC wearing exempt person could one day try to sneek something through, or give it to the real terrorist after he made it through the checks at the gate.

I dont know there is a perfect solution

Another question........who checks the security guys??

Cheers J
