America's TSA: $12B of expensive theater that fails 95% of security tests. Nick Pell explains why we should scrap it all on this Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1169On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:The TSA's greatest "successes" — stopping the shoe bomber and underwear bomber — never actually happened. Passengers stopped them after TSA screening failed!Internal TSA audits reveal catastrophic failure rates: some airports let 95% of test weapons and bomb components through security. That's not protection — that's expensive theater with questionable reviews.The $12 billion annual TSA budget creates a deadly irony: people drive instead of fly to avoid airport hassles, resulting in thousands more road deaths since 2001. Safety theater kills.TSA theft rings and sexual assault cases reveal systemic problems, with agents claiming legal immunity from prosecution. Government accountability becomes government impunity.Master situational awareness: notice behavioral patterns, trust your instincts about people acting unusually nervous or rehearsed, and ask thoughtful questions.

Senator Tommy Tuberville, a former college football coach turned senator, discusses his relentless efforts to protect women's sports from biological males. He talks about his recent initiatives, including a letter to state governors urging compliance with President Trump's executive order and the reintroduction of the Protection of Women and Girls in Olympic Sports Act. Tuberville also shares insights on the inefficiencies of the TSA and his proposals for privatization to enhance airline security. Additionally, Dr. Peter McCullough discusses the erosion of public trust in vaccines, particularly due to COVID-19 vaccines, which has led to decreased vaccination rates and increased diseases like measles. He criticizes the flu vaccine's effectiveness, citing a Cleveland Clinic study of 51,000 healthcare workers showing no benefit and potential harm. Finally, Utah State Representative Ken Ivory discusses Utah's historic monetary policy legislation, which allows up to 10% of the state's rainy day fund to be invested in precious metals. The bill, vetoed by the governor, would allow state vendors to be paid in gold and silver electronically. Ivory highlights the bill's unanimous support in the House and Senate and the governor's concerns about practicality and appropriation.

It was some trepidation that I've decided to eventually cover the Pan Am Flight 103 disaster over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988 which killed 259 passengers and crew as well as 11 people on the ground. Very few aviators or people interested in aviation are not aware of what happened to the Boeing 747 when a bomb loaded on board with other luggage blew up over Scotland. The shocking truths that were unearthed afterwards changed aviation forever. But Pan Am's lax security also created the hole that the terrorists exploited. Two listeners in particular have prompted this episode, including Alison who was an 8 year-old living in Lockerbie when the plane came down. She has told me how the small community banded together despite their own loss and then extended their arms to help families of the victims. There is a great deal to cover so let's dive straight in starting with the latest developments first. In December 2020, the United States announced charges against a Libyan suspected of making the bomb that blew up the Boeing over Lockerbie. Masud apparently allegedly carried out the attack on the orders of late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi directly – although Gaddafi always denied that. Of course Gaddafi's own luck ran out in 2011 during the Arab Spring uprisings when he was deposed, bayoneted and then shot. Live by the sword .. die by the sword they say – unfortunately he took his many secrets to the grave with him. The bombing led to many improvements in airline security, particularly how baggage was handled. A special session of the International Civil Aviation Organisation or ICAO council was held in February 1989 with improving airport security number one on the list. ICAO organization and powers were strengthened after this conference, and training rehashed. ICAO also implemented what's known as the Convention on Marking Plastic Explosives. This lays out the rules for countries manufacturing explosives to mark them chemically in order for a bomb to be detected by sniffer dogs – and chemical analysis devices. There were many other improvements.
