If hthTSA wanted to actually be about security, they would require police intelligence, civil service, background, psychological and agility tests, make screeners sworn officers and go after the legions of cops who retied after their 20 years.

This will never happen.

Why? Becasue the TSA is not about security. It's a jobs program employing tens of thousands of oterwise near-unemployable people. Jettisoning these boobs and requiring everyone to pass police examinations just like any sworn officer would would cull their ranks by around 75 or 80 percent, and strike these people unemployed again.

Security would be far more wefficient, the efficacy rate of detecting test guns and bombs would skyrocket and people would be treated with respect, deference ot the bill of rights and the SOP adhered to. Because the TSA isn't about security but is about employing the dregs of society in larger markets, this will NEVER happen. People like Bart will have to continue to try to make silk purses out of sows' ears and the entire thing will get worse and worse until a terror attack thet gets throguh the porous joke of a TSA security net and Daschle has some 'splaining to do about federalizing guaranteeing professionalism.
