[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2023381, member: 711"] TSA went very quickly from "thousands standing around" to "travellers suffering abuses." We need screening, but there's gotta be a better way. Simply dumping TSA is like saying to terrorists "hit me if you see an opening." TSA is a classic example of "if you want it bad, that's how you'll get it." An internal restructuring, lots of training, lots of weeding, and probably a meaningless name change would all help. Obviously TSA needs a big inspirational leader, which we certainly do not have at this point. (can't find an icon for chicken noises, but bwak-bwak-bwak!) Congressional hearings are seldom a pleasant experience, but to duck one is suicidal behavior. Giving security back to the FAA with enough money to support it (which they never had) is one maybe viable alternative. There is still some good talent there, and they could pick the good (and there is lots of good) in the TSA. I have flown quite a bit since TSA came into the picture, and have never had the slightest problem with them, though some of the things they have done as reported in the media look pretty bad. That said, most of the reported problems are two-sided. [/QUOTE]
