I would love to have a job where I got to try to break through all the TSA's nonsense security. If I believed any of it was making us safer I'd happily comply, but the whole process is so ham-handed it's embarrassing. I brought a small radio transceiver with some coils of wire through recently and the look on the agent's face when he removed it from my bag was "oh shit I've found an explosive device". He looked extremely relieved when I told him it was a radio (but didn't inspect it further), then he proceeded to lecture me about the importance of putting my toiletries into a zip lock bag (they were in a similarly sized see-through bag with a zipper)...
