the TSA.. Thoughts and Opinions?

themystic's Avatar
Cannot disagree that there are multiple reports of failure to detect weapons by TSA.

And it is an inconvenience to boarding flights.

how effective is the TSA in preventing terrorist or destructive acts on flights - I do not know if that information exists.

It is likely a trade-off - how much intrusion into travel screening, v the risk of the horrible, but rare terrorism on a plane.

If you want security - El Al airline has very intensive screening, and effective security. For a good reason - they are a target of Radical Islamic terrorists and must screen passengers intensively for their survival as a carrier.

We have become inured by the lack of incidents in US carriers, and as a result, look at the TSA as only an inconvenience.

I wish info on how effective the TSA is was available.



Suggestion - CT - write your congressman and Senator letters of the issues - No One else has clout to change matters. Originally Posted by oeb11

The post was clear - the TSA wages are not enough to hire better candidates for the jobs.

They pay "Peanuts" - and the usual hateful DPST's are twisting words and meaning into their preferred narrative of Racism and Nazi
While submitting nothing constructive to the discussion about TSA - Just Personal hatred.

So Sad.

Grow up and take the Olive Branch I have so generously offered. Im disappointed in your divisional behavior. Please stick with cogent and constructive debate. This would be a much better forum if you did so. Don't be a DTDS Scardy Cat

How many Passenger Airliners hit buildings in the United States before 911?

While I think they are an overreaction to the events on 9/11, we've now had a full generation of people grow up with the TSA in existence and too many people willing to trade their 4th amendment rights for security. They aren't going anywhere soon.

Yes, TSA pre-check only applies in the US.

And for you I'm guessing the checks at Ben Gurion were not that bad as you likely don't fit the "profile" for added scrutiny at that airport.

Allow the TSA to implement many of the profiling methods that other countries(like Israel) employ and it could be made much more(may I hazard bigly more ) efficient.
