OK, so then dismantle the TSA and discontinue all screenings in airports?

Yes, the TSA must be shut down. They aren’t your friends. NOt when they start doing what they are doing. None of my ‘friends’ can grope my junk, make me pose in a criminal stance while seeing a naked picture of me, under the guise of ‘making me safer’, and I can’t say no without them calling me a security threat and not letting me go on my way.

Sure, because agencies as big as the TSA are abolished all the time. Like when they got rid of the...um....heck, I guess it would be a first.

How many passengers are fondled before the TSA agent changes gloves?

Are there any negatives to adopting the Israeli EL Al method of airport screening?

As I’ve written before I believe free enterprise would do a better job than the lousey government as the airlines compete, thus must care about their flying customers experience, and their insurance carriers certainly care about the safety of their assets.

Railroads, and others listed as concerns of the TSA could be privatized as well.

The Federal Government should stop the enemy at the borders dammit. That’s their responsibility. Let’s cleanup the scum from the pond, and dump it on the shores it came from.

The Fed can stop bringing them in. Stop allowing them open borders to cross over, and into our land for their mischeif. Deport the crowd that’s here now. Get control of the problem instead of the strawmen.

For one, even if there were to be a TSA it should have been under either the already existing Dept's of Defense or Transportation, without any regard for a new Dept of Homeland Security, which can make up its own rules and feel autonomous as it goes along.

Furthermore why grope the passengers, and impose guilt and intimidation on every citizen, (ala Michael Chertoff the rabbi's son), rather than just riding the aeroplane?

There are a dozen more respectful ways to safeguard air travel than the insulting arrogant demeaning methods now in force.

This is one of the underlying reasons for which I rejected GWB in his second term: he really did occupy the viewpoint on an elitist, albeit unconsciously. A kind of precursor to the Leftist authoritarian disaster we now experience.

Does anyone know if the TSA employees who process people through security and conduct these pat frisks have Peace Officer status? In order to work in my 25 years career as a prison guard for NY State, I had to attend the academy, and pass the required Municipal Police Training Course. Only after successfully completing this training was I given Peace Officer status, and allowed to carry a badge. In order to keep that status, I had to undergo yearly training courses, and re-qualify at the range once-a-year. Does anyone know what specific training the government requires of these people, and if it legally qualifies them to the job?
