The creation of the TSA was nothing more than a sweater swap. They took the morons working for the private security companies and gave them government jobs. It was akin to giving Barney Fife and extra bullet to put in his pocket. I commuted to Denver for several years, in full uniform, and I can't tell you the number of times I've had to deal with these idiots. I even had one TSA agent touch the metal detector as I walked through just to set it off and cause me to have to go through a "secondary screening". I saw the agent touch the detector as plain as day and confronted him. I told him I wanted to talk to his supervisor. The supervisor sided with the agent, of course. I fly corporate now and would quit flying altogether if I had to deal with the TSA on a regular basis.
