Given an establishment, the method of change is as important as the change itself. It’s not enough to have a good idea, you need a way to make it happen. Arguments about the inefficiency, cost or ineffectiveness of the current TSA will not matter in the least unless the people in charge can actually be swayed by such arguments. Right now, the TSA is kept alive by a large group of people who benefit from beefy government contracts. These powerful people are quite capable of trotting out one bogeyman after another to challenge any TSA rollback proposal. They will twist the opinion of everyone that matters until one of two things happens: either nothing, or a new program that requires handing even more money to their select businesses. They are clearly not interested in actually making things better. People love to focus on one thing, the presidency, while ignoring the fact that there are many positions of power in the world. It matters what kind of people we have in all of those positions. You can’t dismantle something like the TSA until enough people are in enough positions of power to make it happen.
