The TSA may as well be one of these guys. Security my ass, the TSA is more Gestapo than security. They don't make us safer, they just get in the way of law-abiding citizens.
Dammit, I'd rather be hijacked than deal with TSA anymore.
Just recently, the great TSA searched a disabled, wheel-chair bound woman. Seriously, is an 85 year old woman going to be any sort of a threat? What is going on with this country? Why is everyone so afraid of terrorism that they'll give up their freedoms for security? Its disgusting.
And why is the TSA a bunch of incompetent fools that don't do anything except get in the way? I don't feel safer. I'm in as much danger now as I was on 9-11-01. Even with all the security measures up, the terrorists will still find a way in. They ban guns? The terrorist brings a knife. They ban knives? The terrorist brings a CD and breaks it in half and uses the shard. They ban CD's? The terrorist whittles a toothbrush into a knife and smuggles it on board. They ban toothbrushes? The terrorist uses a ballpoint pen. They ban pens? The terrorist uses a pencil. They ban pencils? The terrorist finds something else to use as a weapon. Until we are naked and handcuffed to the seats, we won't be perfectly secure.
So what do we do? We get rid of the full body searches. We lessen the bans. No weapons or sharp objects obviously, but get rid of the asinine bans on harmless things like water and other liquids. No, they won't succeed in making a bomb in the bathroom. We keep the metal detectors but increase the efficiency so we don't wait three goddamn hours to get through. We add armed air marshalls to every flight. We make cockpit doors bulletproof and locked from the inside and give the pilots and flightmembers guns and self defense training.
Since we can't stop the terrorist from boarding the plane, we should rather plan to stop the terrorist once he's on the plane.
