I watch faster and less invasive pat searches performed daily by young troops who think everyone is out to kill them. Hell even in Afg/Irq they didn't take 2 full minutes to search someone coming on base. That search was above normal and boarding on groping.
Would anyone here be okay if that was their kid?
THIS! People who VERY LIKELY are wearing a weapon in a warzone don't get molested like that. The TSA has stopped exactly ZERO terrorists. ZERO. They operate with impunity because people think they're protecting us. The private security firms, as a whole, that were in place before the TSA had less thefts, less complaints, and a more efficient operation than the TSA.

I posted something very similar to this on Reddit and got the shit downvoted out of me. I agree it should be a private company
News that the Transportation Security Administration missed a whopping 95% of guns and bombs in recent airport security “red team” tests was justifiably shocking. It’s clear that we’re not getting value for the $7 billion we’re paying the TSA annually. But there’s another conclusion, inescapable and disturbing to many, but good news all around: we don’t need $7 billion worth of airport security. These results demonstrate that there isn’t much risk of airplane terrorism, and we should ratchet security down to pre-9/11 levels. We don’t need perfect airport security...
Somewhat on the topic of how bullshit TSA is- In 2007 I was on a detail to test the TSA at an airport. I easily got through security with my prohibited item (which was real, and incredibly obviously prohibited). I was floored at how easy it was.
Disclaimer. I know that's very SVO sounding, but it happened.
goodluck winning that lawsuit! they agreed to the search but you can refuse by law and then they followed tsa procedure while dfw police stand there and watch
that's a losing case
Me thinks TSA does crap like this on purpose as a "oh yea?!?! You don't want to use the scanner!??! We'll make you as uncomfortable and as late as possible!"

When i went to McAllen last month with the girlfriend. She warned me, that i will have to watch she they pat her down and around her 32 DD. Well i sure am glad they did not. She says she always gets patted.

I find it hilarious that we thought security is so important that we created the TSA to handle it then we staffed it with people who make ten bucks an hour and aren't qualified for much more than Taco Bell or janitorial work.
These people couldn't stop shit, it's a god damn farce that people buy into.

What's your beef with NPR, because their listeners are typically more informed than others?

My ex made it through screening twice with a Ruger LCP that she forgot was in her bag so nothing surprises me.

What the TSA does is not done for security. It is done to condition us to government agents finger banging people without any protest from the people getting finger banged.
