When about 1 in 75,000 people (by TSA weekly report) are found with something that could be remotely considered a threat, why would anyone waste their time suspecting the other 74,999 passengers? The whole "treat everyone as a suspect" viewpoint is really the problem. It is the real cause of the resentment of the passengers, is really against anything that our country stands for (fairness, innocent until proven guilty, our Bill of Rights), and makes the TSOs sitting ducks for criticism. Sadly it doesn't make us safer, just more vitriolic.
