It's pretty clear that you don't like FAMs. Have to wonder if you applied for the program and were turned down or it you had an incident with FAMs at the checkpoint. Doesn't matter to me what your reasons are; I'm curious how you would improve airport security screening if you were king for a day. Pretty easy to poo-poo the idea of having TSA; many in here do it all the time. However, very few come up with any reasonable alternatives or suggestions.
I've asked you previously, and you dodged. So I'll ask you again: if TSA is a worthless agency, what would you do to improve it? Or, if you were to replace it, how would you go about it?
