You’re barking up the wrong tree. I’m sure Mr. Anderson feels as you do. He, his pilots and airline staff have to go through the same degradation.

Send this letter to Janet Nappy-whatever and Barry Obama (when he’s not on a billion dollar vacation).

It won’t do any good, but what the hey.

Sadly there are simply times in life when you have to depend on collateral damage to get the job done. This might well be one of those times. The TSA couldn't care less about what we think or how we feel. Those in management at that organization have reached their Level of Incompetence. They could never make it in a private enterprise. They are doing the only job they can make that kind of money at, and at the same time have great perks plus a feeling of power.

This is a great example of why it's never a good idea to pass laws during the heat of a disaster. The little minds that end up running the programs set up by the law will run wild. It never fails.

I have made up my mind that if I can't get there by driving then I don't need to get there. Time was flying was an attractive alternative. Even cheaper in some instances. But leave it to government to destroy that.

Every example of problems with terrorism and the airlines was caused by a miserable failure of the TSA to do the job it was designed to do. True, it's a tough job, but there are those in this country who could get it done a whole lot more dependably and a lot cheaper too. All that's required is a laser-like focus on the job that needs to be done. To hell with PC and all the BS. Go for the jugular. Take away the Muslim extremist's ability to use our laws and rules against us. No cash tickets, no more no-luggage trips, no more one-way tickets, and on an on.

If the only way to force the TSA to get in line is to take it out on the airlines then so be it. Truth is, if they don't figure out why they're there and continue to ratchet up the inconvenience and embarrassment they associated with airline travel then people will quit flying anyway. Far better to warn the airlines and give them the opportunity to return airline travel to the point where it's worth the effort.

Little Dick....
Could care less...

These days it's all about the Widget profit/loss spreadsheet....PERIOD!
They stopped caring for their passengers' well-being (and their employees...)
A long... long... time ago...

Actually...I don't think so. Mr. Anderson, as president of a major U.S. airline, has more political influence than I do with our politicians.

But...Hey!...It just occurred to me. Perhaps this all part of the Cloward Piven strategy. Overwhelm the system. Drive these airlines into bankruptcy. Then have the government nationalize the entire flying industry.

Also...If they had pre-screening security clearances that would mean a loss of TSA jobs and communist party ( Oops! “Democrat”) votes. They would need far fewer employees if all the passenger needed to do was have their fingerprints screened before getting on the plane.
