I thoroughly agree. For one thing, the acronym means for me TitS & Ass. For another thing, there are scenarios where an armed terrorist group could overwhelm the flabby TSA people by gunfire, intrude into a boarding/departure lounge, and enter an airplane so as to set off a suicide bomb. How does anyone propose to stop something like that? It is only by a miracle that it hasn't already happened. So, it is all a sham. (I have no problem with confirmation of ID, however. That is not controversial Anyone who flunks that should definitely be set aside for scrutiny.)
They don't even need to overwhelm the fatass smurf-clerks* with gunfire. All they have to do is detonate an explosive vest in the "security"(-theater) line and kill everyone standing there before the Terrorists Searching Americans even get a chance to molest them.
*-Fun fact, TSA screeners are classified as government clerks. That's their job category. Not "agents" and certainly not "officers" like their cop-a-like uniforms and fake tin badges are purpose-built to suggest that they are.
We are thinking alike. I was contemplating them using hand grenades to clear the way.
TSA as clerks. It figures. All show and no go. Security on the cheap. Not armed (probably out of concern their weapon could be taken from them). I forget the details of the Israeli control point process and staff, but it seems to be tighter with less loss of liberty.
It's a start but we need to abolish TSA and replace it with nothing.
