All they care about is finding something via groping.

The obvious isn't even checked anymore...we have become that paranoid that we don't even check for the simple and the obvious anymore.

They are unionized, what do you expect. They don't have to be diligent in their jobs. They could F up all day long and nothing would happen to them.

Bomb sniffing dogs + metal detectors + questions/body language analysis of suspicious looking individuals = More effective less politically correct (not to mention less cancer-ridden) TSA.

Min requirements..GED and ability to wave a metal detector wand..same caliber of people that would apply to Wallymart or McDonalds.

Why does the government pay for security for private airlines again? They don't put security guards in the local Walmart; other businesses must provide their own on-site security. What makes airlines an exception?
That's not even touching the egregious, blatant infringement of the Fourth Amendment.
Quote:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
