I do not believe that as a whole the TSA actions really make the flying public safer, it is only to make us feel safer. I have also come across a few agents who appear to be on power trips but my path crosses people like that in many areas of life; state troopers when speeding, conference room showdowns, drivers in NJ, etc. It is just life, deal with it.
BTW, a box cutter took down the WTC.
