Most people in this forum accept TSA as a workable solution. There are aspects of screening that they find objectionable for legitimate reasons. It's only a handful of the forum members who come in here just to whine or come up with clever little cliche's that feed their unrealistic anti-TSA agenda.
Sorry, but TSA has proven itself to be an unworkable solution to security. Billions invested and what do we have to show for it? New uniforms, a mish-mash collection of unworkable, unseen rules and regulations for the masses? TSA and DHS upper level management are responsible for this mess and do next to nothing to resolve the issues. PV has questions go unanswered for months and you wonder why we neither like nor trust what TSA says.
If you bothered to pay attention to the sum of my comments, you would find that I believe the BDO program, effective as it is at detecting suspicious behavior, is probably on its way out. It's biggest handicap is what I call the giggle factor. It's very difficult to articulate even though it does work. It simply doesn't play well in a court room.
$160,000,000 spent on 180,000 stops and TSA has resulting how many terrorists brought to court? Hundreds? Dozens? None? That program shows just how incompetent TSA/DHS upper level management is in concocting unworkable/unfeasible programs designed not to increase security, but instead designed to increase both the budget and funding at the expense of real security. It would seem that the ROI on the BDO program is zero.
