Re: Airline Travel
Dear Mr. Anderson,
My husband and I restrict our airline travel because flying is a flaming inconvenience.
Last year and this year we chose our vacation places based solely on whether or not we could get there by AUTOMOBILE!
Solution: My husband and I should be PRE- SCREENED ( similar to a government security clearance). We should then NEVER NEVER NEVER go through airport security again.
For now we are NOT flying!
Sincerely,
Wintertime
P.S. It is outrageous that John Tyner is being investigated by the TSA while Muslim women go through security essentially unscreened!
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.
That is a fine letter. I would cc it to Jim DeMint and any other congress people who might take action. The TSA is out of control, and it has to be stopped by one means or another. Congress looks like our best bet.
there is a prescreening...
it is called trusted traveler and you fill out an application and get a full background check and special ID card.
TSA - Touching Sexual appendages or appartus. See this gives them right. what do you expect from the criminal chief in the whine house he is nothing but a pervert. I disagree with this invasion on privacy, yet the Muslim women can walk through unimpeded this is BS. grab the woman as she walks through and tear off her burqua, you will be shocked that is actually a man. BS on the TSA they are wrong, and it is bunchof perverts.
Not a bad idea; however, Robert Hanssen and John Anthony Walker had security clearances. They went bad. A pre-screened individual that knew how to work the system could go bad too.
There USED to be such a company, called CLEAR. My son worked for it for a couple of months before the TSA forced it out of business. Everyone who used it seemed to like it.
He even got to meet some VIP types, including former President Clinton.
I will not fly. We want to go to England next year and are currently investigating ship travel. Cunard seems to be the way at this time.
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.
But this isn't really about security. It's about turning the United States into a Police State.

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...
One wonders, how does a TSA mouth-breather have any self-respect? I mean, really, when out socially and the subject of “what do you do for a living” comes up, what do they say? I imagine it would be along the lines of, “Oh, I drive a pig farm manure truck” rather than admit they sniff and grope crotches for a living.
Profile and the number one red flag is: islam.
Where do I apply? Thank you
there is a prescreening...
Where does one obtain one of these? How invasive is the search and who has access to the information? Thanks.
