While I don't fly regularly (only 3-4 times per year) I appreciate the attempt being made to secure my personal safety. It may not be fool proof... it even may be bothersome, frustrating and tedious to frequent fliers...but I appreciate the attempt all the same.

I appreciate the attempt being made to secure my personal safety.

Generally, so do I.

But, the TSA hardly qualifies with a rating higher than a D-. They are feckless in the extreme.

Arm all the pilots... Profile the passengers... Do solid background checks on all the employees and contractors... Stop making my 89 year-old mother and her 88 year-old lady friend take off their shoes and get a complete body inspection while all the swarthy men walk blithely past, barely glanced at by the "inspectors".
