Is it time to just say the TSA is useless? Theft is just ONE of the many crimes they are arrested for on a regular basis. I personally had my Percocet stolen out of my checked bag once. They caught the guy on tape. Let's not even get into how much money is made from auctioning "confiscated" items.
Do we really need the TSA? Should National guard replace them? Seems like their title alone is the job description. ;-)

When the TSA is frisking old ladies, babies in bassinets, and military service members and vets to prevent offending someone more likely to be a terrorist, then I have to say, they are just another PC bureaucracy run amok.

I always have a real attitude problem when I go through those checkpoints. I'm very quick to show them my retired military ID when they ask for identification.

1.) If security remains a federal function, TSA needs to be replaced by a function with standards and the ability to fire. Basically no public union holding up the firing or incarceration flow. 2.) Something I've said in the past but it has always been poo-pooed...federal employees should be bound by standards. The UCMJ has worked for years, make them accountable under the UCMJ, just with a different name so the naysayers don't get hung up on the "M". Call it the UCFEJ, "Federal Employee". 3.) The airports should be footing the bill of security, not taxpayers. Ever notice airport taxes never lowered after TSA took over security? What are the airports doing with those dollars?

I could think of a few thousand people about to be laid off that could class up the operation so we could get rid of the wanna-bees.

Its a government operation. Give it a few decades to break in and grow roots so then it will be impossible to get rid of.
