We're told that total time for pax screening, TDC to exit, even including a grope, is very short. TSOs and airport workers should, like pilots and FAs, be able to reduce this even more. They're prepared, no bags, presumably they'll all get pre-check, so they don't even have to disrobe.
Surely these are minor considerations when our security is at stake?
I've told the story before of watching workers enter at an employee entrance at DFW. No screening and the workers were bringing in all manner of items that could conceal contraband. One guy dressed in a uniform suggesting ramp agent type duties even had a roll-a-board suitcase. Another person had 6 two litre bottles of soda. It was a solid stream of people with items that should be screened.
If security is worth doing it's worth doing right and TSA security is not done right.
