No, a terrorist will have an accomplice put a bag containing a suspicious object throught he x-ray, then ignore it and walk into the terminal. The TSA will then willingly collect thousands of passengers for him and leave them milling about on the sidewalk where they become easy prey. Assuming, of course, the "terrorists" are still fixated on airports and not other, more accessible, venues.

Once you think about it for a moment, the TSA has nothing to do with law enforcement or "terror" prevention.

The operation of DHS/TSA sets a bad precedent for government intervention in the lives of US citizens. You are wrong to defend their practices.
