And that’s the crux of it. TSA and much of DHS are the two biggest threats to individual American freedom, IMO.
“This is Bush’s fault and anybody with half a brain predicted this would happened when Bush created the TSA.”
Yes, indeed. The creation of the DHS ranks near the top of the list of unforgivably asinine policies that Dubya perpetrated. That his answer to the question of airport security after 911 was to create yet another monstrous governmental bureaucracy that terrorizes the average person yet does nothing to deliver additional security and added billions to the national debt was wholly in keeping with his big-government approaches to everything.
This is all about unions and Democrat votes.
Its really time to replace the TSA with private companies.
It’s a DISGRACE that the GOP congress hasn’t put an end to this “ work-to rule “maneuver by a govt union to get more money
Let’s get all our unemployed honorably discharged veterans or their family members who want a job into this workforce on an emergency hire basis
And make their managers also are veterans with leadership skill
The more you hire the slower its going to get. Unless you profile this is a waste of time. There is only one small group of animals who are blowing planes up and we all have to be strip searched to avoid that fact.
Pray America wakes
US airport security. Nothing but smoke and mirrors. Israeli airport security, extensive, and expensive but certainly no less so than a large union of government employees as in TSA and far far more effective.

Don’t rely on Technology, human profiling and extensive security before you arrive at the terminal and then more security before you get to the plane. The one area I have not found information on would be airport/airline employees with aircraft contact.
Like any govt agency the numbers of “boots on the ground” are being reduced while the numbers of administrators and supervisors and other useless bread gobblers are exploding. Most of the extra money just goes to executive bonuses anyhow.
Disband the TSA. They are worthless for security.
Bet the new screeners will all be muslim refugees.
What good is airport security when an Islamic pilot will just crash the plane. Airport security my butt.
Republicans created TSA. It was a monumentally poor idea. Airports and airlines should be providing security not the govt. DHS is the single most dangerous agency ever created in this country. The name itself is completely foreign to America.
1. Make your 8 year old daughter dump out her entire packed suitcase and explain why every object in there needs to make the trip. Confiscate random things. Tell her the barbie doll isn't going because it could be a weapon. Tell her that she can't bring her hand lotion because it could be explosive, but she CAN bring it if she drinks some.
2. Pull your wife out of line for additional screening out on the front yard. Sexually assault her because her bra looks suspicious and you were really sure that she had a bomb in her pants. Make jokes about her weight while doing this.
3. Tell the wife and daughter that they can each only have 4 objects up front with them in the car. Everything rides in the trunk, no exceptions.
Life in the obama administration.
“Yes, we’re egregiously incompetent, and we don’t give a sh*t.”
I flew a few days ago. It took 45 minutes to clear security during non peak times. In the past that would have taken 20-25 minutes. They had two lanes open, opt of five total. Instead they had 4-5 people standing around to walk each empty tote from the back of the carry on Xray to the font. I guess they didn’t want to use the car that day. Jerks. Fire every one of them, replace them with local off-duty police for the time being.
