Airport security was much better when it was private security not government security. At least privately security had alignment with airport customer service. Airports just have to deal with TSA BS now.
I like to remind people, especially kids that don't know different, that the TSA was imposed on us and air travel used to be so much better.
- bagels 4y agoBetter in that it was more effective?
- tastyfreeze 4y agoMore cost effective and answered to the business serving travelers. TSA answers to nobody and customer service is not even a priority. Private security that harassed, berated, and abused patrons would not be working private security for very long. You will have to define effective to tell if TSA or private security is better. TSA is an effective hinderance on travel, jobs program, and public money funnel for scanner companies. Private security was more effective at scaling security for the risk and trying to be a minimal hinderance to travelers.

- throwaway2037 4y agoHave you ever travelled to and taken mass transit in Israel? This is common.
- ThunderSizzle 4y agoNo, I don't live in or have visited Israel, but it's obvious why Israel would have such precautions compared to many other parts of the world.
