My point was the TSA might have been a good idea for a good reason
That's exactly what I am talking about. I don't think that it was ever a good idea.
For instance, planes have been hijacked since the 6 Days War in the sixties, but we never had a DHS or TSA. So the problem with 911 wasn't that planes got hijacked. So it must have been that the hijackers used the planes as missiles, but as far as I'm concerned that problem is fixed by putting a lock on the cockpit door and instructing pilots about their responsibility to never ever relinquishing control of their aircraft. Bulletproof the cabin wall. Maybe install cameras so that they can see what is going on in the cabin. At the end of the day it seems that problem is solved by a lock. I don't understand where the TSA came in.
These administrations go off and fight these enemies in the name of preserving our freedom, liberty and way of life when the reality is that we as a people have allowed the Feds to take away from us the very thing that they proclaim they are fighting for. Makes no sense.
bottom line is the terrorists aren't going to exploit that again...IMO they are probably a little smarter than us on those kind of things
Your probably right. They'll probably blow up a mall or sporting event, and of course the government could have never foreseen that. So we'll have to get TSA involvement in malls, sporting events, AMTRACK, the men's room so that I can pay my admission to the TSA to get into the stall so that I can take a crap. I'm sure that it will never end.
As far as I'm concerned our national security problem can be solved with a civilized, responsible and well armed citizenry.
