Maybe we can start up a two tier program:
1. First Tier: Same as the current TSA program.
2. Second Tier: Totally not searched. Oh, maybe a little drug dog action on incoming flights, but that it. You pay more for a ticket and we give the flight crews extra danger pay.
You can pick whichever. I mean I get it, they are intrusive and they fail a lot. So besides the complaining what can you suggest? On one hand you say they are missing guns and bombs and such and on the other hand you say they are too intrusive.
I mean given their mission, how can they win? Everyone b$%^%$# about getting felt up, so they get fancy scanners. Then everyone b%^&$## about being scanned. They get busted on for not preventing attacks, but if it worked you wouldn't know right? I can't say if someone turned their plans from aircraft because of security. The security really isn't in what they find but more in who doesn't bother to try, right? I mean they only make what 20-40 a year and they have to put up with your crap. I bet that means the applicant pool is a little murky.
I'm just saying its easy to complain without real solutions. Of course fire the criminals to start, but what after that?
