Like many pro-efficiency/anti-waste rants, yours ended up flying to close to the sun here.
If you eliminate the TSA you also eliminate the entity doing the random screenings. And random screenings do provide some security which is difficult to game.
Hell, random screenings even publicly signal their unpredictability by generating news stories about a famous presidential candidate being pulled out of the line for a random screening.
That's the only bona fide security feature I know about the TSA-- I'm not a security expert, so there may be others.

- dangerwill 5y ago100% correct

- djfobbz 5y agoIf you think that your government is keeping you safe, good luck to you!
- woodruffw 5y agoThe government keeps us safe in plenty of ways (food and drug regulations come to mind immediately). The TSA just happens to not be one of those ways.
