I agree with Kandrathe.
I'm not very agreeable with the TSA, their practices, or their employees at the "customer level". I could go on and on about it, but I will try to keep it brief.
The TSA boasts that it has found drugs, and tons of banned devices, but I have yet to see them thwart a terrorist plot. They actually failed an internal test at Denver, letting 90% of IED's through screening.
I don't feel safer because of them, I actually feel the need to double check my belonings (24 TSA agents since 2007 have been arrested and charged with varying degrees of Felonius theft)
I don't like the backscatter machines, and the super awesome naked pictures it creates (if you don't think it makes you naked, google "TSA arrested for assault over little manhood" and read the various stories about it.
I don't feel that I should need to be subjected to an "Enhanced Pat Down" as punishment for declining Backscatter imaging
My solutions to the problem are unpopular because it would force the TSA to reorganize, fire most of their current screeners, and start over with higher employment requirements (currently, you don't need a GED or Diploma if you have the right background), Civil Service Testing, and make them more of a law enforcement agency that I don't know.... made sure you weren't trying to be a terrorist, and not detain you because you have ~$5k in a locked cashbox.
I don't know who came up with the term "Security Theater" but it most certainly is Theater.
