Get Your Popcorn Ready — Upcoming Documentary Explores the History of the TSA

Though it probably won’t break any of Avatar‘s box office records, a new documentary from “retired aviation publisher” Fred Gevalt will document the history of the watchdog that protects our friendly skies. This in-depth look at the  Transportation Security Authority (TSA) is called Please Remove Your Shoes and comes out on July 1, although Gevalt will be self-distributing, so that doesn’t necessarily bode well for it being an enthralling expose’ — nor something that will be able to find in your local theater.

Here’s how Speakeasy, a Wall Street Journal blog, characterized Fred Gevalt’s Please Remove Your Shoes.

Thee final production, which Gevalt is self distributing July 1, asks viewers to evaluate if the TSA has truly made flying the friendly skies any safer post 9/11, and features interviews with Congressmen James Oberstar and John Mica (both of whom are on the Committee of Transportation and Infrastructure), as well as a number of former TSA and FAA employees. Gevalt adds that it wasn’t easy finding enough subjects to speak about their relationship with the TSA on the record, but as one interview beget another, “the business of access became less difficult.

Even if it doesn’t make your local cineplex, it will presumably at least make it to the Netflix circuit eventually, so look for this one starting next month if airline security is something that strikes your fancy.

  1. Let me see if I have this right.

    2 million passengers per day (in the US only) for the past 9 years (since 9/11) equals about 6.5 BILLION passengers.

    One nut tries to blow up a plane with explosives in his underwear which failed. (BTW: You can’t put enough explosives in your underwear to down a plane) and now OUR GOVERNMENT wants to strip search or physically pat down all AMERICAN travelers at a cost of billions of dollars.

    Nobody has been killed by terrorists on an American aircraft since 9/11!

    Odds: 1 in 6.5 billion ? or less? the bombs didn’t work!
    Powerball 1 in 40 million?
    State lottery 1 in 14 million.

    I’m 465 times more likely to win the state lottery, than to be killed by terrorists on a plane!

    WHAT ARE OUR LEGISLATORS SMOKING?

    Billions to strip search Air Travellers? Teachers all over the country out of work?
    Cities & Towns going bankrupt?

    What about the 300,000 killed in car crashes in the same period?

    What’s wrong with this picture?

    Speaking of pictures, picture you, your wife and kids like this:

    WTF?
