This needs to be stopped while we still can.
^^ Over the past few years I've had several opportunities to discuss TSA - their policies and very existence - with many people in a face to face, logical and respectful manner. When I have those discussions with people who initially defend TSA, in every case, by the end of our discussion, while I might not have been able to create an anti-TSA convert, I've at least been able to make the other person understand the reality behind TSA, the institutional lies that they consistently propagate, and how the flying public is being provided with no greater increase in real security - in exchange for being subjected to an increased infringement of our individual rights.
TSA could have been a government success story had it been designed and implement correctly. Instead, it remains as the most visible standing failure of our response to the 9/11 attacks.
