Why is this happening?

I suggest that TSA is acting with integrity and the real threat to commercial aviation is so great that TSA feels a need to do these screenings.

However, if TSA is acting on real intelligence and the threat is that great should anyone choose to fly via commercial air?

Would not the wise person find other means of conveyance?

We know that TSA has a poor record of finding threats during Red Teams test so even with the current increased screening methods being used I suggest it is just to dangerous to utilize commercial air.

It's time to cash in your tickets, take the train, drive or just not travel.

TSA is telling us that commercial air is dangerous, I suggest we listen to TSA.
