The fact is, as many have pointed out, none of these have proven to be effective and yet the inconvenience/harm of these measures seems to far outweight the benefits. Why don't they just stop wasting our time and their resources (perhaps our resources??) with all these "security theaters" and still not make flying any bit safer??

I have been inconvenienced a few times. So what? They pat me down, open my carry-on and delay me for 10 minutes. Wow, what a catastrophe indeed!!!

If the TSA ever did an Israeli style security check, like you have to show up at the airport 3 hrs early, you'd be howling that they are wasting your time.

TSA is damned if it does, damned if it doesn't
