The biggest drag on getting through security is not the TSA but the morons who think they can walk through with half a ton of metal jewelry on them and a couple of bottles of water.
As for myself, as a member of the CBP trusted traveler program, I get expedited screening at TSA checkpoints. But I will wave to you all as I whizz past in the fast lane.
Yep.
Don't understand why people wear belts and all that other crap.
When I walk into the airport, all I have is my clothes, ticket, and my ID.
No sweaters, belts, or other accessories, that belongs in the carry-on if I need them.
Why not use some of the airlines ideas? For example, have for fee TSA lines. For 20 bucks you get a faster checkin. $10 gets you "business class" service. If you don't want to pay, well you go to the slow line and take your chances.
What a load of BS. I fly weekly into numerous airports. In every single airport, ther are dozens of extra TSA employees just standing around shooting the bull.....talking about their weekend plans, etc. if you are a lucky Atlanta traveler, you get to see the TSA employees flirt with each other and talk about booty. Get the lazy employees to do their jobs productively and you could fire half of them today.
TSA: Hiring freeze could double checkpoint waits
WASHINGTON -- The Transportation Security Administration announced Friday it would adopt a hiring freeze and reduce overtime spending in response to federal spending cuts -- a move it said could double wait times at checkpoints at the busiest airports.
This just gives you more time to chat up your neighbor in the line, have some kids, get married and divorced, become an angry old man, and yell at some kids to get off your lawn. Then, finally, you can show your passport before you expire.
Why don't they just do away with the TSA and IRS once and for all?
We can just tell everyone to grope the person beside them in line and then let everyone board.
Naw, this is a bad idea because their is dirty old men like me. I would wait for a young good looking woman and make sure I was standing right beside her. Shoot I might just start hanging out at the airport just for that purpose

I say we just get rid of the TSA and then we save money, get our privacy back, and increase convenience at the same time.
This permanent, invasive, inconvenient, and expensive change to the way airports work is a completely irrational response to 9/11.
