Yeah, that would require competence. I doubt there's many recorded instances in history of our government having a surplus of that.

According to one report, undercover TSA agents testing security at a Newark airport terminal on one day in 2006 found that TSA screeners failed to detect concealed bombs and guns 20 out of 22 times. A 2007 government audit leaked to USA Today revealed that undercover agents were successful slipping simulated explosives and bomb parts through Los Angeles's LAX airport in 50 out of 70 attempts, and at Chicago's O'Hare airport agents made 75 attempts and succeeded in getting through undetected 45 times.

If the TSA sucks this much, one can only assume the terrorists are either more incompetent or have just stopped caring.

At RDU on Sunday, they had the machines but didn't scan everybody. I don't know if it was random or what. I was neither scanned nor groped.

Probably logistical. They can't scan everyone all the time everywhere; it'd take forever, particularly this time of year.

TSA is trolling the "We wont fly" message board.... on our dime.

TSA no longer allowing airports to replace TSA with private security.

The new TSA union has no opinion about the decision, I'm sure.

TSA chief John Pistole said Friday he has decided not to expand the program beyond the current 16 airports, saying he does not see any advantage to it.

Blind. Mother. Fucker. Good to know you're there to serve the public, John. Go tongue fuck a light socket and die.

Let's review. We can't fly, we are about to lose the internet with this kill switch and tiered internet deal, we can't record police. When did we time travel back to 1930's Germany? Or is it present day Egypt?

The TSA/airport bullshit got kicked off when the last admin decided to create a new cabinet department to fuck us over.

Yeah. And back then we didn't have the invasive pat downs, the TSA wasn't allowed to unionize, and airports were free to have their own security.

Just because the dudes after trashed it worse, it doesn't absolve the dudes before from starting it.

Feds threaten to turn Texas into a no-fly zone if they pass a law making it illegal for the TSA to molest people.

We aren‘t even prohibiting the pat-downs, per se. We're just saying you can't go straight to third base.

TSA would likely be required to cancel any flight or series of flights for which it could not ensure the safety of passengers and crew."

Sooooo, they're going to ground the entire country?
