The TSA is obviously a complete clusterfuck, but it is offering us an important lesson:
Despite everyone hating it, including Big Business, it persists and will likely continue to exist until the U.S. Government collapses. It is nearly impossible to ratchet back a government program dedicated to "security", among other sacred words.
Look at the solutions being offered: add more workers, more bomb dogs, etc.
