I'll elaborate further on the "just abolish it" idea: let each airline manage its own security. They have every incentive to balance customer experience with meaningful security.
Especially if you leave them open to civil liability in case they are negligent and bad things happen with one of their airplanes.
- cheald 12y agoI specifically fly Delta because they fly out of a terminal in my home airport that doesn't have the backscatter machines - just the metal detectors. There's never much of a line and I don't have to go through the hassle of opting out for a pat-down. I would definitely make it a point to patronize airlines which made convenience and smooth travel a feature. Every time I travel, I sacrifice multiple hours for each direction sitting in an airport because I have to allow time for TSA incompetence. 95% of the time, I'm through security in a half hour, but sometimes it takes two hours if they have the moron squad working the x-ray, so I have to assume that every single time I travel. If airlines were competing for my business on the basis of "consistent screening times" and "low-hassle screening", I would be delighted.
