I love how people try to be logical about all this. There is no logic, it's nutcases vs power-trippers.
Here's the reality - it's not IF but WHEN the next nut gets through TSA with something else, not something new, but something they were supposed to be looking for in the first place. These are all slackers on a power-trip, who else would apply for such a job?
So what are they going to invent next to harass everyone? How exactly are they going to do cavity searches, or is this step meant to get us accepting enough for the next level?
The next idiot might hijack a private corporate jet with no security, and that's going to make an interesting battle of corporate lobbyists for "freedom" vs. power-tripping security theater hiding behind "keeping you safe".
But, that will always happen as TSA can only plan for what past happen not future happened.
The FBI, Secret Service, Treasury, CIA, etc have a record of 75% or higher of catching terrorists before the act.
Guess what TSA's record is? ZERO! Think about that for second. How many Congress people are connected to the companies supply and benefiting from TSA's obvious miss-management?
For security you hire law enforcement or military. Guess who does security at embassies? That is right law enforcement and the military not TSA.
