I think we’ve gone way overboard with TSA security. We should leave it to the people and the private sector. Our federal government is stupid and way too incompetent to be left in charge of such an important issue.
I was never in favor of creating the TSA. But that’s a question for another session of congress. Private security would be fine with me, though having been flying for many years I remember also the complaints pre-TSA about the pitiful quality of employees that were doing screening at airports. It was a joke. Few even spoke english. While the TSA is the bloat-ware solution, and overboard just like anything that government does, it is better than it used to be back then. But sure, there’s room for improvement.
I see this as finally starting to get into the more advanced techniques that will actually work better.
