TSA has nothing to do with security. And that is intentional, IMO.
This is all about intimidation of innocent US citizens. With the goal of further down the line including more draconian surveillance and intimidation. National ID papers, checkpoints in public areas, and such.
TSA is now going after people entering commuter trains. Only a fool would think it’s not going to continue to escalate.
Their goal is to eliminate the right of free movement about our own country.
A punch in the mouth sends a stronger message than a slap on the hand.
If the TSA won’t properly train their employees, then the traveling public must.
Two things I can think of which might actually work, i.e. either everybody flies naked or everybody flies armed...
President Obama said that “the war on terrorism” is over, so bring the Military home and End the TSA.
The TSA is becoming a joke.

Almost “struck with violent intent” a “security” agent in kuwait over a similar situation. Wasn’t expecting the grope, and almost let fly......
Good thing the “strike” didn’t, that would have been a bunch of time with some very antagonistic and unsavory folk....
Can empathize with the Texas congresscritter though.
Well there are even people on the FR who are so ignorant of the constitution they will tell you we have no right to fly and no reason to expect the 4th Amendment to be enforced. Ah the public schools have done a wonderful job....for communism.
That is why I avoid the molestation station. I’m not a cooperative victim.
