Safe airline travel and disaster relief is so so overrated. Next time drive and move somewhere safer.


You can't live near everywhere you want to visit. What kind of odd response, pp

Let’s be real TSA requires all travelers to line up next to each other. There is no screening before that happens. Someone can come straight in from the street with a bomb or guns and there is a ready made target.


The cost of TSA should be borne by the industry that requires the security but all tax payers. The vast majority of Americans are lucky if they fly once a year. Why should they pay for services they do not use while subsidizing rich frequent flyers?


Yeah, it is so dumb to not check people BEFORE they enter the airport.



Right?? Why don't they have security checkpoints before entering airport grounds??


It will be current security lines x 10 at least. If you're going by 'check everyone entering airport grounds', you're checking a whole bunch of people that are not intending to fly. I have also flown through airports where everyone that enters is checked, and generally, what that means is that the only people entering the airport, are people who're flying (they're checking tickets and IDs). So if you are picking up someone from the airport, you will be waiting for them outside. If you're dropping someone off that needs help (say with luggage, or securing a wheelchair, or with language problems), you won't be allowed to go in and help. It just creates long backups OUTSIDE the airport.


And your point is… it will inconvenience people so we shouldn’t do it?

American carriers would not be able to fly outside the US without TSA.

Tsa is security theater.

Ask an engineer how they would technically circumvent many of the procedures. It's laughably easy, even more so if you have children in tow who only get the metal detector.

I live near a regional airport and you couldn't believe how often TSA confiscates loaded guns and knives from carry on bags. Our news is sleepy enough that they report on it regularly.

We need TSA because Americans are nuts.

It would be better if airlines were forced to fund TSA instead of tax payers. Then the people who actually fly could pay for the salaries of those who keep the flights safe.


What about all of the jobs created by the airline industries in the airports? They should have to help with this TSA funding as well.


No they should not be subsidized by people who do not use the airports.


Where were you when we had to pay all those billions to bail out the airline industry after 9/11? Do you know what the price tag on that was? Do you know how much of that price tag was paid by people that don't use airports?


And do you know how much each taxpayer paid for pointless Irq? you can go thank cheny for that one.

It feels like the point of all this eliminating is to eliminate citizens.


Run now. Or wait it out?


I really don't know....I do know America is in danger.

So on a your return trip from Canada, there's no one to ask if you purchased anything from there? No one wants to see the F magnet for the fridge that was purchased? Who is protecting our borders then??

It’s difficult to staff tsa anyway. So why not reduce it and have tsa focus on identifying and securing against threats in a more holistic way instead of the purgatory we are all living through.

The only people benefiting are the producers of the scanners. I suspect the dogs do a better job and they are much cuter to watch work.


It doesn't matter what we think about theater. All other countries follow suit. Would you accept an international flight from a country with more lax standards.

It can be privatized, sure, but until we decide to not follow the same procedures globally, we are stuck with the current screening.


The U.S. demanded other countries do it.

At least they get to see people nude on those cameras.
