The people interviewed in that article are completely delusional. I've never read such rubbish in my life. Those idiots are creating more "terror" than the terrorists could ever do by themselves!

I completely agree that it's a pretty transparent attempt by the so-called security experts to drum up business and profit for themselves. There's a lot of money to be made from public hysteria, unfortunately.

Oh and BTW if people are upset that the TS&S forum has an anti-TSA bias, why don't you go to any of the other Internet travel forums? I've found that the more mainstream Internet forums that attract the less frequent travelers are much less negative towards the TSA (USA Today Airline blog, NY Times comment section on articles about airline security, the travel guidebook sites, etc.).

But if you want to know how a lot of real frequent flyers feel about the TSA, you've come to the right place. The reason we're so anti-TSA is because we have to put up with this intolerable, ineffective, abusive crap the most.
