Has TSA finally gone too far?

Why be overly concerned with safety....except for photo ops and headlines....when there is this opportunity to get the population used to being controlled by the jack booted thugs of the government?

I wasn't talking about El Al itself but at the airport where there is a large contigent of police with more than just tazers and pistols every 50 feet or so.

The difference is in competence.
Do you actually want to see these low wage mall ninja wanna be's carry anything dangerous ?
They can't even be trusted with the X Ray equipment, as it is.

The sheep have been conditioned gradually through the phony war on drugs for 80 years to except any infringement of their rights, including random check points with identity checks under the guise of "DWI checkpoints".

American's today are worse off than non Jews in Nazi Germany but they are to brainwashed and gutless to admit it.

Funny you should say that, my customer flew out from San Diego last week and TSA couldn't get the X-ray machines booted up right delayed everyone 15-20 minutes. 

They wonder why we don't respect them...  They, LEOs in general, need to raise their own bar and police their own ranks before than can begin earning back any trust.

Our so called leaders in D.C. have turned down offers of help with our aviation security from the former director of Israels aviation security three times!
Let's see, Israel hasn't had a hijacking or plane blow up ever since this man took over aviation security and implemented his program, yet it takes the passengers on american planes to subdue terrorists that got thru our top notch expensive DHS - TSA security. Amazing!
Israel uses a very simple procedure - profiling. If it looks like a duck, talks like a duck, walks like a duck, it must be a duck. They will question a person whom they believe to be a terrorist with simple questions and watch they're reactions and question them further if necessary. Profiling will not be tolerated - not in PC America, we may offend or hurt someones feelings.
