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.
Listen up cupcake, most of us in these forums don't consider the TSA a workable solution, it was a stopgap measure at a time of crisis that was poorly implemented. Now seven years later we have gotten tired of security plans that are reactive rather than proactive. Take for example shoe removal and the liquids ban, I can’t think of single country that requires passenger to go through this kind of nonsense and that includes England where Richard Reid’s flight originated from. The only time they do require it is when the flight is going to the United States. Germany, England, Ireland, France, Spain, and Italy have all had serious problems with terrorism that pre-date 9/11. And yet they don’t have planes falling out the skies from shoe bombs.
No one here is anti-TSA, what we would like to see is an agency that lives in the real world. For example many TSOs like to claim that the there are options to having your items confiscated, none of them are a realistic option if you were to try to use them at an airport.
There has been change within the TSA because of passengers questioning policies, those changes have included; TSA approved lap top bags, complaint forms available on line, lanes for families to name a few. The real problem is procedures that only seem to be used in America and no place else.
