I am a part of the “public” process. Other people and other agencies make up the other parts of both the public as well as the non-public parts.
That's really funny. Every terrorist (and most passengers) know that you can go through *any* checkpoint in the US with the same weapons that the 9/11 terrorists have used with no fear of detection. The same goes for the underwear bomber. The scanners in use have been proven to be completely ineffective against this type of threat. This is 100% security theater.
I just love it when a non-member of the TSA is so willing to tell me my job. Unless you are willing to admit that you are a TSO then you have no idea what my job is, or what it takes to get it done.
I won't tell you what you job is, but I'll tell you what it isn't. It isn't in any way related to security.
