The negative comments are from the posters who are not concerned about safety of the aircraft or themselves.
They are against any type of laws, procedures or authority of any kind.
They cannot deliver any positive comments at all, just criticism.
It is a nice to receive positive comments...
What a bunch of ****.
Some of us want an efficient, logical, and effective process - where the screeners treat the passengers (and their belongings) with respect, where we don't have to wait inordinate amounts of time, and where the screeners are well trained. Customer service.
We also want effective security based on time-tested risk management principles.
FOr example, there should not be a terminal dump if the TSA fails to do a secondary check of one, random person carrying the ashes of their loved one. Risk management principals allow for occasional, random, folks to miss one element of screening without inordinately increasing risk. Unfortunately, TSA is all about what the Brits call "ticking boxes".
We'd like effective security, not kabuki theater to make ma and pa feel good.
