I would actually prefer to have those travelling on fake IDs busted. Weren't some of the legitimate 9/11 hijackers using fakes? It might contribute to safety. I hate the organization as much as anyone but would support the detection of fake IDs, but not via this SPOT nonsense. Stop contracting out the ID checking to 16 year-olds and we might get somewhere. I've dealt with federal agents who can't pull off kinesics (interpreting body language) -- why on earth would we assume the TSA can do it?

Drug runners and drug possessors? Eeek. Even when I was in law enforcement, I hated those cases. But they are criminal violations and are not for the TSA to be dealing with. Nabbing a personal use quantity of pot isn't going to stop the next 9/11.

TSA: you don't even belong in the airports. Stop trying to force your services on the railroads, subways, etc.

STOP SPOT.
