I do respect TSA individuals
But, I do not feel the policies in place make it more secure to fly. Please note terrorism 101 if they want you to take your shoes off take them off don't stand out. THe reason a trusted flyer pass will never work, fly 100 or 1000 times and get the pass this makes you a trusted flyer they will then do this.
My worry is that we are trying to take the cheapest route and my concern is more about explosives in luggage not on persons. Why are we not working more on that even if it means more inconvienence. Take the 10 bucks per passenger and buy all the machines you can get.
Also, I think my fellow passengers will put up a fight in the event of a terrorist act on a plane. I for one would fight as if my life depended on it.
By the way I have been in the air probably more then 1000 times since 9/11/2001.
