Perhaps, Ronnie, if TSA actually had some arrests/discoveries of actual terrorists at the airport screening points then the public might agree with you. The near total lack of arrests for actual terrorism at US airports still hovers around zero.

Give us more money and we'll be able to detect terrorists. Excuse me, but your job is to keep the WEI off of aircraft. A disarmed terrorist isn't a threat.

So Ronnie, tell us again how TSA is the point of the spear in keeping air travelers safe from terrorists when TSOs/airline employees routinely get arrested for baggage thefts. What comes out could just as well go in. Please tell us why TSA is incapable of following a Congressional mandate for 100% cargo screening. Could it be that TSA has misspent the funds alocated to it on programs that show a nearly 100% failure rate (i.e. BDO)?
