Agreed on your points. I should clarify and say I would suggest On-Duty military, under military rule/supervision and totally disband the TSA altogether.
Remember these screeners are basically the same people that before 9/11 had the x-ray machines on full speed and never blinked an eye. The incompetence has to end somewhere.
On another note, I carry approved liquids in my carry-on bags, NEVER take them out and NEVER get detected. Interesting?
