Such as? How do these things improve safety on a commercial airline flight?





Quote:
Screen people for prohibited items. All of the people entering the secure areas of an airport!

Screen carry-on for prohibited items.

Screen checked baggage for prohibited items and ensure its not tampered with after screening.

Screen all cargo, mail and any thing else that is loaded on the airplanes.

There you go, the whole TSA job in just a few sentences.

So tell me "RON" just what else do you think TSA should be doing to ensure safety on commercial airlines flights? Of the list of tasks I listed above what else do you see that needs to be done by TSA?
