Re: The TSA is both a problem and a symptom.
I agree it's a huge problem. I'm suggesting it could be done professionally and competently, with continuity across the country.
When you dredge the bottom of the labor pool and then hand them arbitrary authority you don't create an efficient organization.
And then when you add the regulation that objecting to abuse of authority is terrorism, and anyone who objects to being abused is a terrorist, you have a real circus.
Every abuse by tyrants is done in the name of national security. Something to remember.
