Scaling back the TSA won't work until we're willing to have the powers that be explain the concept of "security theater" and "acceptable risk" to the public. And they'll never do that.
Exactly. Privately, I've heard countless people inside government serving in positions of responsibility castigate TSA and DHS in terms that would get their outbursts sent to OMNI if posted here, but none of them are willing to go public with what they know to be true - that TSA in its current form is a colossal waste of taxpayer money.
