When the whole scope n' grope nonsense started, I was pretty open minded about the TSA's presence in the airports. That's changed. The more I analyze the way the TSA spends money, hires people and sets policy, the more certain I am that they must turn transportation security back over to the airlines and the airports.
The free market will quickly determine which technologies are worth spending money on, and which are boondoggles. The courts will quickly sort out what screening tactics are acceptable.
The TSA is a failed experiment, and it's high time we pulled the plug. More time and money invested in the TSA will only highlight the federal government's incompetence and moral turpitude. The TSA has gotten steadily worse since its inception, in spite of a ballooning budget and several changes in leadership.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Enough already!

So where does that leave us?
If both WBI and ETD have high false positives then whats left? That's not a rhetorical question.
I would hate to think that TSA could justify the assaults on the public they currently inflict.
I am adamantly opposed to the full body gropes conducted by Airport Security Screeners as well as the WBI Porno Machines.
