BNA this afternoon was an absolute travesty. It took over an hour to clear. Only three WTMD open until I finally got to the end of the line when they opened another one. The lines were backed up both sides all the way into the ticketing area. No one could move. No NOS in use, no pat downs. Just xray and WTMD.
They are usually pretty good here, but someone really, really lost control. They did not even bother to ETD my bag of equipment, which gets done at 90% of check points. And should. I'll post a photo sometime. So, not only was the security a farce, they were no even pretending.
Lots of running, small computers back through, though.
I have not seen a mess like this since the new security area was finished.

In Israel, they don't do this. See my post on a typical Israeli airport experience

The TSA failed in the acquisition contracts and not testing them in the actual environment they would be used in. They are a perfect alternative to the Nude-O-Scopes and Genital Gropes, however people like Michael Chertoff and Tom Blank do not have a financial interest in the deployment of Explosive Trace Portals.

TLV style security is not scalable.

HOW MANY SUICIDE BOMBERS WE HAVE NOW GOING OFF? I SEE FEWER GUNS AT THE KOTEL THAN AT THE SUBWAY IN MANHATTAN!!! Scalable??? You nuts? Of course it is!
The US CAN have Israeli security at the airports, but THERE IS NO LEADERSHIP -- NONE -- and the government is crushing the people.
It's also halachicly incorrect to do this to people. Some rabbis condone it, but they are TOTALLY wrong... those same rabbis probably condoned Jim Crow, too.. aie-yah.

I would like to formally apologize to all of those critics on this thread... based on the actions of this month and the attitude of the TSA employees on this board to the groping, in addition to the attitude of the TSA leadership, I would like to officially change my position on this. The TSA needs to go.
