Former TSA boss: Resentment of Agency ‘Dangerous to Security’
27th April 2012
“The fracture between the common traveller and the people providing the services is broken,” said Hawley, “and I’ve used the term ‘toxic,’ and I think that is dangerous to security when neither side are particularly listening to the other and I think that is what needs to be fixed.”
Of course, the obvious response is: Well, whose fargin fault is it that the TSA is resented? Hmmm?
And don’t get me started on that whole ‘security theater’ thing….

I’ve heard of putting a fix on a fix, but I’ve never heard of breaking a break.

The only thing the TSA is good for is generating outrage at the government. All terrorist actions on planes since 911 that have stopped have been stopped by PASSENGERS.

It seems there are only two options: (1) abolish the people, substituting a new, subservient people or (2) abolish the TSA. Which one is cheaper?

The TSA will ask for/demand option 1. After all, “we’re from the government, and we’re here to help!” What they don’t say is the rest of the truth which is “ourselves to your money.”
