Its just security theater. They cant stop a true threat. Personally, I would rather take my chances than deal with the Gestapo routine. Realistically, you are flying at 30,000 feet in a tin can, after that, what difference does another layer of danger really matter?

Flying is a privilege not a right. Don't want security don't fly. Easy as that. Yep. Agree completely. That's why I drive when I can.

Shoot, in the decade before 9/11 I probably logged as many hours on a passenger plane as some of the pilots. Used to be I could get to the airport and be through the X-ray machine and the metal detector In15 minutes. Occasionally they might want to swab my computer bag and make me boot my computer up.
I've traveled a couple of times since then. I don't see one damn thing all those tsa people do that would prevent a hijacking any better than the old way of doing it. What does it accomplish to antagonize the passengers and keep family from meeting you at the gates? You stop terrorist attacks by PROFILING and by keeping tabs on people in this country that we know damn good and well have terrorist sympathies. Or better yet, keeping them out In The first damn place. Wonder why we could suddenly come up with a whole new billion dollar agency to police the flying citizens of this country, but we still can't find enough money to police the border.
The whole tsa thing is nothing but another government work program designed to give the illusion of benefit while actually accomplishing little more than what was done before with billions of dollars less expense.

Truth of the matter is that Homeland Security employes folks to try to smuggle bombs and guns on airplanes, they are succesful most of the time. That's because you have these schmucks hasslin' little old lady's. Most of these TSA agents couldn't get a job without the EOE law and minority hiring requirements. This X 100,000,000

You keep saying it was for not for no reason. Tell us what the reason could be. Other than little man syndrome, yes please, do tell us what it could be????? It's random. Every so many persons through the line and a little light comes on to say "check this person". It is completely random. If the TSA agent doesn't perform the check then they could loose their job. I fly 3 weeks out of every month, on average. I can get through most security lines in less than 15 min. On occasions I'm the lucky person that gets picked for that type of search. It's no big deal guys.

My wife, used to work for the contractor that set-up testing/interviews for TSA prospects. If you were dumb as a sack of hammers and a black female, you were pretty much as good as hired.
If you’re a common sense person, you probably don’t feel you have a home in this world right now. If you’re a Christian, you know you were never meant to.

Negative. I'm paying for a service, it is the TSA agent who has the "privilege" of a job because of the patrons... I shouldn't be harassed to the point that it ticks me off for something I'm spending my money on.
