The resources wasted by TSA could readily be directed to issues of more impact on society. It's time to regain some sanity in passenger screening.
Exactly. NBC Nightly News had a segment last week about the most dangerous roads in the U.S. Many of the issues with these roads were "structural" and, with enough money, could be fixed.
Another issue, of course, distracted drivers, texting/cell phones. However, there is a fix for that also: heavy fines and DL suspensions.
That, as well as impaired driving, could be cut into with an infusion of money to get more police on the road making arrests and writing citations.
Would cost less and save far more lives than the TSA will ever save.
