Finally someone who understands the fallacy of TSA Policy.
Here's the article, which finally put my ideas out there in a way I agree with. It's a disproportional response to terrorism that doesn't make any sense. It offers the illusion of additional security without the reality of it.
They also pull out privacy vs right to travel and point out that there's significant case law on both issues, and that the TSA policies seem to abridge one or the other. Maintenance of privacy leads to travel restriction, asserting right to travel brings on privacy loss.
All in all, it pretty much nails why I'm completely disenchanted with the TSA, and why I think the idiot politicians who designed the system need to take a hike, or at the very least, start waiting in line like the rest of us and get subjected to the same levels of scrutiny - think these policies would last long if they were treated like the rest of us?
I kinda doubt it.
