The demeanor of individual agents isn't as troubling as the existence of an agency with plenary power to conduct warrant-less and invasive searches as a condition of plane travel.

Arbitrary power has a cumulative effect on both the TSA and their “customers,” as evidenced by your easy submission to Police State America 2014.

Just we observe your easy submission to “Traffic Law Police State 2014,” assuming you use your car to get to work as I use a plane to get to work.

If TSA was a problem for me I would fight them using every means at my disposal. They aren’t and I don’t.

I have Pre Check which means I don’t take my shoes off nor take my computers out of my bags. I pop through in about 15 seconds.

The biggest problem is they are giving Pre Check, which I had to pay and qualify for, to random people who don’t understand it and slow up the lines terribly.

People like you I assume.
