Almost thought they had meant "honest" here: "The group has convened a panel of transportation leaders to recommend a better way to balance security with a more efficient and honed screening process." http://www.nytimes.com/2010...

it just makes me not want to get to a US airport again until this is all sorted out (hopefully, the alternative is too sad to contemplate...)

In a letter to TSA Administrator John Pistole, Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Republican leader John Mica and Aviation Subcommittee top Republican Tom Petri called for a review of the pat-down procedures. Note Pistole's response http://www.elliott.org/blog...

"You simply cannot solve problems that you do not want to identify." Great, balanced post about TSA - “Do I have the right to refuse this search?” http://www.hlswatch.com/2009...

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." — The Fourth Amendment (Amendment IV), United States Constitution

"Exactly two things have made airplane travel safer since 9/11: reinforcing the cockpit door, and convincing passengers they need to fight back. Everything else has been a waste of money. Add screening of checked bags and airport workers and we’re done. Take all the rest of the money and spend it on investigation and intelligence." ~ a waste of money and time http://www.nytimes.com/roomfor...

One more story for the tickler file -- "It’s difficult to overstate the extent to which TSA has mismanaged security..." http://www.elliott.org/blog... - from the comment: [“Why are we letting this happen?” Because there are too many sheeple who are willing to say “Whatever it takes” to be safe. And when you say something like that, the government is more than willing to take whatever they want… and you’re still not safe.]
