"This is going to be a serious problem for the TSA if it doesn't figure out something quick. So far, the TSA seems to be in near absolute denial that this is actually a problem, but if these TSA responses are indicative of how most TSA agents feel, there are going to be a lot fewer security people at airports very, very soon."

If they hate it so much they should quit and apply at Walmart.

Walmart probably doesn't want 'em back.

The pat downs will pass on potentially communicable diseases to travelers world wide. Do they really change their latex gloves between pat downs? I doubt it.

How about ABOLISHING THE TSA, EPA, FDA, FCC etc?
and
Impeach Obama!

This is a conservative forum?

I’ve read thousands of posts here and I’m the only one that has called for eliminating the TSA and letting private airlines do their own security and then letting people choose what kind of security they want.

All I see is “We should profile Muslims”, and “We” should do this or that. Who is “we” , the government that’s who.What about government/socialism doesn’t work do you all do not understand. I guess most don’t have a clue about economics or the importance of private property and the free market which capitalism which is freedom. Read Mises, Hayek, Friedman to get a clue.

We are done. 99% of people don’t understand economics.

Obama and democrats have stood by these perverted, oppressive,X-ray cancer giving policies for years. democrats have controlled Congress for 4 years. Impeach Obama.vote out democrats . democrats are socialists. These machines will give you and kids cancer. TSA thugs sexually molest kids. And democrats say that they they are creating all these huge government programs for the children.Now we see they were lying . What democrats want is socialism

What about a back ground check? As an airline traveler how about paying for a lie detector test? Or a background check?

So the T-shirts ordered for the TSA company Christmas Party will not say, “TSA - Our Business is Touching Yours”?

Dang, how do those rumors get started?

We were going to go in with my sister in law and fly my mother in law down to Florida for Christmas.

Now with this going on we are going to drive and meet them half way and then in Jan. do it again.

I will not subject her to this.

“I am serving my country, I should not have to go home and cry after a day of honorably serving my country.”

1) You are not serving your country, because your actions make everyone less free.

2) You are not honorable. You are only following orders.

Secret Service has a list reputed to contain 400,000 names of people who may be "threats" to the safety of Presidents, Senators, Representatives, Governors, etc.

IIRC, FR has about 300,000 members, I wonder who the other 100,000 are that's on the list?

TSA employees are the kind of folks who would march you into gas chambers.

I passed through PHL Terminal C this morning.

No Nude scanners in site
No enhanced pat downs

Just the ol’ metal detector.

If you are flying out of PHL, use Terminal C

Was rough on the shippers who brought TEA to the US before the revolution too...

The battle is always joined where forces meet...

No nation of 300 million people will ever have trouble finding a million or two or three who will gladly abuse their power for fun and profit. How do you think the Nazis managed to ship the Jews to Poland and keep such meticulous records? They had plenty of people who were happy to do the work. We have TSA, ATF, IRS, etc. SSDD.
