The corruption is sickening. I also saw on AC 360 a story about the thousands of people that are now employed with the TSA administration (the bureaucracy - not the ones working at the airports) and that a huge percentage of them earn over $100,000.00 a year. You are right Sarah, Follow the money... It has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with "safety".

And who was the lobbyist? Tom Daschle's wife. It's like Hollywood - connections matter more than talent.

I agree with Susan. TSA theater has absolutely nothing to do with safety. The opposite is true. By creating huge lines they are inviting terrorists to come to the airport and explode or shoot around. I am afraid that if terrorists try again they will either explode or shoot people at the airport or have explosives in their body cavities. Then God help us because TSA will be really out of control and we will start using train and going overseas by ship.
