The comments here make it sound like the TSA is committing war crimes or something.
I think it's dumb, I think it's a waste of time, I think it's ineffective.
I also think that most of the time, most people spend 5-40 minutes in line, get through it, and promptly forget about it. Expecting it to affect tourism to the US seems totally absurd to me.
- chrismcb 7y agoYes it is terrible. It wastes billions of dollars plus additional billions of dollars of time. It is unconstitutional. It doesnt do anything. And it purports to make us safe by making us unsafe. We have to stand in line that can easily be targeted, stands next to a barrel full of suspected explisives, walk barefoot across a dirty floor, and potentially felt up.
- epscoe 7y agoThis point grinds my gears toothless. I've been angry enough at the misery and indignity of TSA procedures to point out (in an airport) how easy it would be for anybody to bomb the dozens/hundreds of people stuck in the 'security' line. Fortunately I wasn't prevented from boarding my flight. I guess the counter-argument is how much more damage could be done if they got on a plane and hijacked it, but I feel like some other safeguards would be far more effective than having somebody in a back room looking at a scan of my naked body (and my family's).
