The whole TSA thing is so depressing. I feel like the terrorists have won

I saw something on TV that said while testing airport security, testers were able to sneak like 8 out of 10 bombs onto planes. I believe it.
Coming back from Cancun on the plane, I went into my backpack to get my CD player, and I dropped my switch blade... Oops, forgot I left that in my bag. And airport security didn't notice. But they certainly made me throw my drink away because it was over 3oz. Thank goodness they have jobs.

You think that's bad. Someone at the TSA thought it was funny enough to set it as his desktop background in plain sight of commuters in Indianapolis.

If I go flying I'm going to opt out of the scanner, walk up to the guy with the biggest smile, throw out some innuendo, and make it as uncomfortable as possible. He's going to work for my tax money damn it.

I'll hold back on my usual novella response and just have a little fun.
But first, from a more serious POV, this is how I see it basically.
In simple terms, I don't believe in a Federal responsibility for transportation safety within our borders. I think it's a radical over reaction that bodes ill for anything resembling a country that even wants to pretend that it's sorta free. Airlines and airports don't want dead customers since they present a legal liability and don't pay all that well being dead an all. they also know that customers want to feel safe when they travel. Only a market can sort out the appropriate (don't ever confuse with perfect) level of security/inconvenience, over time and response to the world as it is. There should be essentially no restrictions on what airlines can do for their own security, including El Al style profiling, putting their own armed guards on planes, setting up frequent flier high speed passes, etc.
Now for some fun, since nobody apparently saw, or shares my amusement at Japanese humor.
TSA Ganstas. NOT WORK SAFE

The terrorists will never win much of anything. They're just annoying for the most part. Americans, sometimes thankfully, have a remarkably short attention span and just want to have fun. And, as we've been seeing lately still know how to tell the government to fu*k itself. Praise be to Allah. Err, you know what I mean. This is how Miley sees it.

I find it pretty interesting that congressional Republicans have become so wary of aggressive security measures in the last week. How times change... when there's a Democratic president.

Isn't it interesting. 2001 to 2008 if you weren't all in favor of throwing your civil liberties and right to privacy down the tube in the name of 'security' you were a terrorist loving hippy communist that needs to "get the hell out of my country".
Now these invasions of privacy are all the fault of us 'hippy communist terrorists lovers'.
