Ask the pilot

Propped up by a culture of fear, TSA has become a bureaucracy with too much power and little accountability. Where will the lunacy stop?

    Created in fear and living it as well

    When the village idiot became President and proposed the Department of Homeland Security I got an uneasy feeling. That feeling continues today only more so. Just in case you haven't been paying attention the TSA is getting incrementally worse. They now have millimeter wave length type viewers that can see through your clothes. That horse has left the barn but no one is telling these people. They have way too much money to spend with under trained and poorly managed staff and nobody seems to like them. There education is limited and most staff is lacking in any semblance of professionalism. This department is the brain child of George W, Bush so their poor performance serves as a good symbol for his presidency. Vote this fall and take the train
