Strawman defense to me. The lines are present, TSA is not responsible for the security of those persons that are standing in that line. They are under the protection of the local jurisdiction. I wont argue with you about the fact that they are a potential target. But I take exception to the fact that any culpability lies with TSA. The term uneccessary is operative here. What is acceptable to you, What is not? IF you could get through security in 30 seconds flat and there was no line ever, would that make less of a target? What if you are struck at the ticket counter when the line goes halfway out the door? You are just too quick to voice your hatred and discontent over anything REMOTELY related to TSA.
