Well, duh. Anyone with any slight powers of observation can easily see the gaping holes at just about any major airport in the world. But, for the flyers, let the frisking begin.

It’s only the passenger terminal which is “secure”. The rest is fine. Nobody is gonna get to those low paid Muslim workers.

"But, for the flyers people that actually pay the fares and supply you a job, let the frisking begin."

TSA'a primary objective isn't to stop muslim terrorists.

It is to keep American citizens in line and properly cowed by federal authority.

This is very misleading.

Everyone that works at an airport must go through an FBI background check, fingerprints the whole nine yards.

Also access to sterile areas, ie where the planes are, must go through a TSA check point. Access to the ramps are likewise gated and require proper airport badging for entry.

Is it perfect? Of course not but to imply that airport security in this country is loosy-goosy is BS.

More security theater. Remember the TSA has never stopped a terrorist, the passengers did in those cases. They also missed something like 90% of explosives And weapons in tests.

Thanks to affirmative action and muzzy outreach, there are a lot of potential jihadis working at airports.

News Flash: Anyone arriving at any U.S. airport is not screened by the TSA, either. It's only when you enter the 'sterile' area that you must be searched, and this goes for pilots, flight attendants, and baggage handlers, as well as passengers.

Much ado about nothing.

If you landed at an airport in the USA from Mars you’d think you landed in Mogadishu.
