I've been insulted by some pretty powerful people over the years so you won't be breaking any new ground. People usually resort to insults when they're incapable of making a cogent point.

I'm talking about reducing the number of alarms that do not result in contraband being found. I see that as a desirable objective. Every false alarm detracts from effective security. If TSA doesn't grasp that concept then TSA is more fouled up than I thought.
