Interesting responses to this subject. And I agree with statements made on both sides, therefore I will add my 2 cents (it is worth much less).

I Agree with TSAMGR, don't take it out on the person doing their job find the TSA Manager and take it out on them.

Every trip through Denver I willing go through secondary screening because I wish to wear shoes that will not set off the detector. I do not give the person a hard time but find the process stupid. Terrorism 101 will teach me how to avoid the secondardy screening, I will be trained to take off my shoes.

My major concern is not the shoe bomber or the underwear bomber it is the checked baggage bomber. We need to do a better job in this area, and yes it may cause some delays but so be it.

In another post someone pointed out a couple of thing to me, the first and most important was my bad spelling, and the other was that employees do not have to go through secondary screening (even with shoes on) if they do not set off the detector.

Therefore in Terrorism 102 a employee working in conjuction with another individual could bypass the entire system put in place to catch the shoe bombers.

I guess all that I am saying is that we need to be looking forward and not back, the people we are trying to stop are looking for new ways to beat the system.

So, I guess these statements place me in the camp that is called the "Whiners" so be it. But, I continue to fly on average 3 to 4 times a week and accept that what I can not change (except I will speak up when possible).
