Why do the regular police have no mandate to protect individual citizens but the TSA can do everything it wants to protect the passengers? Perhaps the TSA is not there to protect passengers but to protect the airlines from losing airplanes and lawsuits from survivors of passengers lost in an attack?
If the latter is true the TSA makes sense. It is protecting corporate losses not passengers. Protecting corporations justifies the abuse of individual passengers for the greater good.
Spending billions of taxpayer dollars on confiscating shampoo, mouthwash, cupcakes and then herding people through cancer causing radiation machines is a bizarre thing to watch.
What would lead any sane person to hallucinate that we are spending "billions of taxpayer dollars on confiscating shampoo, mouthwash, cupcakes and then herding people through cancer causing radiation machines?"
Perhaps an accounting course is in order. Concentrate on "sunk costs" and "contribution margin."
Not around here and definitely not in NYC. Just ask them. They have a duty to investigate crimes and prosecute criminals but none to prevent assault or robbery.

So easy a caveman could add it up.

There's an argument to be made that the terrorists don't have to do plane bombings anymore. Everytime a US citizen is groped, it's a 'successful attack.' This letter appeared several days ago in an area newspaper:

It is time for Americans to start living and acting like Americans rather than a bunch of sheep.

So... you are saying that were they to encounter a robbery or assault in progress, they would do nothing to prevent it?
