What exactly are the "better things" the TSA could be doing? There is absolutely nothing they currently do at checkpoints which would have prevented 9/11. (this is besides the fact that an intelligent terrorist out to disrupt air travel would either ship the bomb in commercial air freight or blow up the queue at the WTMD)

All the time they spend x-raying shoes and baggies does nothing to protect us, since we all know the x-ray won't detect well designed explosives. That wastes their time, it certainly isn't an efficient use of their time or resources or our tax money.

So, how did the OP waste the time of people who are standing around wasting our time?
