I couldn't imagine the madness that came over people to give the TSA the right to molest people to fly.It just shows how the American government loves big business.Businesses are for regulation and they are not the machines that keep our economy going.This is one of the few things I proud of my state for.
The TSA is a federal agency under Homeland Security, not a private company. It is still another government bureaucracy to feed as it grows which is just as bad, though.
This whole airline security thing was, of course, a kneejerk reaction to 9/11 that we’re going to be saddled with for a long time. I personally resent the invasive cattle stampede method of going thought post 9/11 airport security. I’ve never been
felt up by TSA yet but I can assure you it would put me in a dark mood.
9/11 was the result of our failure to act meaningfully against international terrorism in the decades preceding. In my opinion and that of many others we still don’t act in a meaningful enough way against terrorism.
Ya in Iseral(sp) they have this device that one person at a time walks into with their luggage and it is a blast proof dedonator when a person with a bomb walks into this thing....it will blow them up, but no one else. It solves several problems at once. The terrorist gets no glory...so it is a deterent in that way and the problem of prosocuting is solved too, and it is non evasive and not harmful to the innocent folks that walk in there. It is pure genius onb both a security and a psychological level. If the DHS really cared about the US citizens' rights and security they would use these things
