See, I told you he/she was joking.
Why do I feel safe? Because I feel like the TSA are doing their best to find weapons and bombs. Maybe they're not equipped to do their best or they have some dum-dums in their ranks, but I feel much safer with them than without them.
There are more threats out there than just terrorists. In another topic, you guys were talking about being OK with guns on flights. Are you nuts??? I've never seen so much rage in my life than in an airport and alot of times it's the airline's fault. Screeners make people mad too, but they're not the only ones ticking people off. The last thing I want is to allow the flying public to be armed at 30,000 feet.
I feel that some of the items they take are a waste of time, but I feel safe knowing that there are no guns or bombs on my plane.
