That is a lie!!! Every US congressman and the government executives, like the TSA head himself, are free to bypass these asinine procedures that they themselves put into place. No security checks whatsoever.
What ever became of the much ballyhooed “trusted traveler” program? Why is it not possible to detect the kinds of explosives that last year’s (fortunately failed) underwear bomber used? If “groping” is the front line of defense, some jihadi will simply hide the explosive in an ungropable manner. Not only is nobody answering common sense questions, nobody’s even seen asking them any more. Has the TSA hired witches and warlocks to put hoodoos on America?
