We need these screening devices and screeners at all entrances to gov’t buildings...congress, White House, etc. Then let’s see who screems. Oh, and Air Force One. Can’t be too safe, ya know.
White House and AF1 wont help. They don’t require muslims to be searched.
Oh, but trust me, there's extremely careful screening already at these places... for the people. For the enlightened more equal government workers, you simply wave your badge at a private entrance and skip all that security. Meanwhile, mothers are told to dump the bottles their babies would drink, just in case they're sneaking explosives in.
The TSA is a redundant and useless waste of money. I doubt the TSA can point to a single event at any of their screening points where they stopped a terrorist action. Just as the 'no fly' list is a useless pile of dung. Both depend upon a terrorist being a complete and utter idiot and not only giving their real name, but also requiring them to put weapons where soon to be unionized federal security guards can find them.
None of these activities by the TSA makes flying any safer, none of these actions would prevent a second 9/11 style attack, and it wastes billions of dollars in lost productivity as each and every person who is going to take a flight must submit to illegal searches and seizures by a federal employee, who has placed themselves between the consumer and the airline the consumer wants to fly.
And this creation of the federal government will never shut down, it will continue to grow, expanding into train stations, light rail, and likely even bus stations, all in the name of protecting us against terrorists.
CLOSE THE TSA DOWN. Indemnify airlines from racial profiling lawsuits, and let them handle their own security. Keep federal laws OUT of the mix, and the airlines can actually do things to stop future terrorist actions. I'm sure quite a number of folks on this board would fly an airline that permits open carry.
