in *your* world, how many terrorist acts have been performed by 90 year old Jewish ladies traveling to and from Florida?
The airport security systems are not going anywhere but here to stay.
some security, of course. The joke of security that TSA gives us, well, that's not destined for a long life. Not so long as they pull down the pants of 85 year old ladies with walkers.
Just get used it and don't whine.
What is your rationale for accepting elderly ladies being strip searched by the TSA? We should just get used it?
Be a sensible citizen to appreciate the work of TSA when they do good as well as criticize them if they do wrong.
Let them stop groping the butts, genitals, and breasts of innocent passengers first, and then we'll talk about what they're doing well.
For those few hardcore constitutional individuals who shout civil liberty : You don't have concern about the safety of fellow citizens and you are not going to end the system that is keeping millions safe, Learn to live with it
A TSA clerk groping my wife and children or forcibly removing my grandmother's clothing does not keep you safe. They are not a threat. There is a justified objection to this crass and uncivilized behavior.
If someone wants to bomb an aircraft, all they need to is bribe the right person. Just pick one. There are apparently plenty of TSA folks willing to take you on.
