BTW, other travel information at the link, might be worth reading the entire article.
Number of terrorists apprehended by TSA after 20+ years: 0
Number of illegal’s flying without TSA inspection or ID’s vs number of US citizens having to provide ID and be inspected?
adios the TSA...then...they get hired by the new guys ?
I am going totally outside the box here.
Think of how a small group of Arab terrorists in the 9/11 incidents caused much more destruction than many battles in Mideast wars by changing the behavior of tens of millions of people ever after that day.
And that “shoe bomber”—one guy-—Richard Reid on December 22, 2001, causes everyone now to remove their shoes at airports. Millions of people. Due to one guy on one day.
No one can carry more than a small amount of various liquids, no nail scissors and so on.
All our lives have been changed by the evil of 19 terrorists (NYC, Pentagon, Pennsylvania) and one shoe bomber on a plane.
Gee, I wonder why SFO was exempted from having TSA perform security checks in favor of a private security company?
Thank goodness, I was getting tired of that big bull dyke squeezing my nads every time I board a commuter flight.
TSA: Thousands Standing Around
Something DID change in Phoenix as they seemed to have professionals manning the scanners vs the DEI employees of the last 10 years.
I don't think illegal aliens are currently being boarded on commercial flights in the US. I don't want anyone who can't be positively identified on aircraft in the US. I also want all voters positively identified when they vote. In Texas only Real ID drivers' licenses and ID cards have been issued since October 2016. Basically in order to vote in Texas, a registered voter must present a Real ID compliant photo ID just as a traveler who is flying on a commercial plane in the US must show a Real ID compliant ID.
I'm no fan of TSA but we need to tread carefully here. Before 911 and the establishment of TSA the private contractors routinely were hiring illegal aliens to do our screening.
Border Patrol was arresting them at every airport where they were doing enforcement operations. We can contract screening out but CBP must be in charge of training, vetting and ensuring security.
They could do away with with most airport security by simply having every flier step on a Quran as they boarded. Musdogs won’t do that
thanx....interesting and i get it.
How are they going to handle people who made duty free purchases of wine or liquor. Currently you place it in your checked bag before proceeding to your connecting flight.
It will all have to be carried on the domestic flight.

The 9-11 suicides on the planes went to strip clubs in Las Vegas and drank alcohol prior to their mission, as I recall.
It would be nice if it were as easy as you suggest.
Airport security is a joke. Every time I fly back into,the U.S., none of the foreign airports require the belt and shoe rule. So I guess it’s alright for terrorists flying out of Rome to JFK to pack C4 in their shoes.
Even though I fly bizjets I still carry a passport and an Enhanced ID drivers license.
I no longer fly for a number of reasons.
TSA is numero uno.
Customs should allow a free gallon of booze upon return to the USA.
I always say the terrorists won on 9/11. The terror act caused our overlords to change our entire way of life and deprive us of many freedoms and a great deal of personal privacy.
If an airport wants to get rid of the TSA,
there is an expensive but legal way to go private.
We have the TSA because we have so many “Karens” that are so afraid of the real world they gladly submit to being treated like cattle.
My response to the 9/11 hijacking would have been way different. There would no longer be ANY non-vetted, non citizen Moslems in the USA. I’m picking on Moslems because they are the only “major” religion that believes killing, enslaving, and raping non-believers is perfectly OK.
I take the Genghis Khan point of view.
Play nice, pay taxes, you can keep your society.
fight with me and you all die.
