This message has been redacted by the TSA.

I feel so much safer now, and just in time for the Holiday Travel Season.

“”This shocking breach undercuts the public’s confidence in the security procedures at our airports,” said Senator Susan Collins, R-Me””

If someone proposed legislation to reveal the same information to the public, she’d vote YAY!

Come on, any one who has been in an airport knows that TSA is mostly show. (ugly uni’s at that)

There is now way to keep a bomb off of an aircraft if the person carrying it really wants it there. Think about it.

TSA might catch the dumb and the true armatures (shoe bomber comes to mind) but the only real improvement of in the air security is the (slightly) better cabin door, and lots of Men and Women that will not go gently ever again.

Eight years of Republican leadership and the dem’s give it all away in a year - like clinton gave to china and everyone else.

Madam dimbulb has noted many times that the USA has no right to be the only world superpower.

The TSA provides the illusion of security, but they are actually worse than useless. Any terrorist with half a brain could get by them. But if you want a police state where old white ladies are humiliated by high school dropouts with metal detector wands, you’ll love the TSA. They cant search Arabs though - that would be profiling!
