Welcome to Specious Logic 101. Maybe my Magic Rock has prevented such bombings? Maybe the Boogeyman is vacationing in the Himalayas? Maybe the threat of terrorism is severely overblown? The point is, there's no way to prove that the harassment has prevented anything.

Not agree: completely correct. I disagree with nearly everything that this disgusting agency does. But please, don't ever presume that we "don't understand" what this unnecessary agency is up to.

And with very good reason.

Our spineless government should have told these golddiggers to go suck an egg.

"Doing more" is not necessarily a good thing! A person on fire can "do more" by running around in a circle screaming and yelling than just standing there. However, "doing more" in this case actually makes the situation worse, not better. If anything else were to happen, I hope that the TSA's "leaders" go to prison (or even if something else doesn't happen) for providing expensive, bogus harassment instead of even a semblance of real security.
