View Poll Results: What should airport security in America look like?
No security at all. Let's preserve our freedom. 9 15.52%
Reduced security. The guys with the box cutters and shoe bombs may have gotten through, but we should just live with that risk. 26 44.83%
Same level of security as now. I'd rather sacrifice some freedom in the security line for the odds of a safer flight. 19 32.76%
Greater security. Let's reduce the risk as much as humanly possible at the expense of personal freedom. 4 6.90%
Voters: 58. You may not vote on this poll

I wish they would get this into their thick skulls that 9/11 changed our world and there are no rights at the checkpoint. To those people who whine and complain: Shut your mouth, take off your shoes and get in line like everyone else!
Take your hands off my junk....

In reply to the OP, we had Security before we had the TSA. Yes, delete the TSA. They can all be allowed jobs with Big Sis at Homeland, so-called Security.


I've suggested that we're all just one loaded-tampon away from some nut in FEMA or Homeland Security actually daring to suggest GYN stirrups at airports, someday.

Now, we have a newsstory of some criminals trying to blow-up an auto with flaming tampons.

How long before it's on an airplane?!

What's the better setup?
Maybe do a little bit better research on people entering our country. These hijackers should have been identified by our government long before they ever got on a plane.
