#2Lets be honest, every damn supervisor and management position within the TSA airport security apparatus should be on those lines until its fixed.
Got to love the stories where the TSA backdoor lobbies the Congress to prevent reform.

#3The most galling aspect is the $90,000 bonus, broken up into $10,000 increments to escape scrutiny.
Who is running the TSA circus?

#4Congress cut the TSA budget 15% at the same time there is a 15% increase in traffic.
Sure, blame 'that guy'.

#5Let's close down the TSA instead. Use intelligent profiling and random searches instead of universal scanning. Let anyone go to the gates, not just ticket holders. Allow liquids, yogurt containers, etc. Allow knives. Allow people to "congregate" near the front lavatory.
Try it for one year and I can almost guarantee, flights will be every bit as secure. Security theatre is not security.

has the TSA stopped a single credible plot since it started doing all this theatre?

Can we also bring water bottles ? Water bottles do NOT explode, even by throwing them really hard on the ground, I'm pretty positive about that.

They boast of all the knives and guns they've confiscated. I wonder though, whether we'd not be more secure if everyone carried guns on board. A hijacker wouldn't stand a chance. Of course, there might also be some bloody air rage incidents as well. But at the same time, maybe people would act more civil if everyone around them is packing, or at least the flight attendants....

#9I predict that security problems will be solved at airports once they fire the rest of the TSA.

Maybe this is the movies I've watched, but isn't firing a gun structurally dangerous to the airplane?
