I never got groped, but they did make flying suck ass and it doesn't accomplish anything. $15 million per life saved is a dubious figure and so is even $667 million per life saved, as we don't know the TSA has saved a single life.

They find a lot of pot. Beyond that, I don't think their enhanced security measures do very much. Post 2001 is very different in terms of public reaction so I don't think box cutters will prove an effective hijacking strategy anymore. As we can clearly see with plane four.

Airline Industry loved TSA tough since they can simply outsource their security concernes to a government agency and have it be taxpayer funded.

I think it should be privatized. There's a need for airline security but we don't need a government agency doing it. The FBI and CIA frankly should be doing the legwork to stop the kind of big planned attacks we see and they by and large do so successfully.

There really isn't much need for heavy security for domestic flights. Simply X-raying the luggage and using metal detectors is sufficient.

Places like Israel certainly need the enhanced security.

TSA overall is mostly terrible due to them hiring some of the absolutely stupidest Americans I've had the mispleasure of knowing. Feels like Idiocracy. Feels very similar to Chinese airline security which is equally vapid and annoying.

Difficulty: FBI is the one instigating or at the very least enabling the attacks

I have never had a problem transporting pot through TSA or know anyone who has, always been told they don't give a shit. Not saying they don't find a lot of pot, but it's news to me.

Most of the statistics I've seen the majority of contraband found since 2001 has been illegal drugs.

These days things may have changed with marijuana as the current administrations seem lax on enforcement. Also they got a lot of flack from people during the Bush era because people correctly pointed out correctly that marijuana poses zero threat to the airplane unless the pilots are smoking it.

TSA is basically a welfare program.

    They get used to everything being free and handed to them, so the whole world becomes their slaves in their eyes. To take from and treat however they want.

    It's worse than a welfare program, welfare kings and queens I don't have to be around. But make them work some boring ass job and they go all Gestapo on your ass power tripping like an HOA president at a lawn ornament convention.

    It’s an employment agency for sex offenders.

    AFAIK it's a jobs program

    [–]troubleshooter 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

    Technically, they call it a labor camp.. you can call it a job program, I don't care.

    I am sitting here laughing at Britney for thumbing her nose at the United States..

    Britney? Who cares what some pop singer does?

    [–]troubleshooter 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

    Yeah, no, Britney was a pop star, but Britney Griner is a lesbian that has a weird fetish to suck off Russian prisoners.

    I admire her for living that dream.

    Wrong. They got me to avoid flying and I got to spend more quality time in the car with my loved ones since before 9/11 because (shock) security was an offensive joke even then

    Not to mention, they never even get me to completion. Bastards...
