Instead of focusing on the real threat we are wasting resources shaking down grandmas. Case in point, yesterday I had to endure TSA. I arrive at the airport, my flight is delayed and I am issued a ticket on another airline. Since my reissued ticket is a "same day, one-way purchase" it has SSSS in the lower right corner. Great I am going to get security screened now. I am also an Active Duty 24 yr Officer in the Air Force, just returned from Iraq a few months ago. I get the full body cavity search while at the same time a number of foreigners cruise right by. What a waste of resources, TSA is a joke. The terrorists must have a good laugh at the group of overweight, half asleep, rude, TSA employees putting on the show of "protecting" the public. Ever looked at the guys loading the food service carts onto the planes, how do you think the next weapons will be loaded. Why go thru the semi-protected front door when you you can walk thru the wide open back door by greasing a few palms. At the same time for the 15th time in the 30 mins I've been there the PA system anounces the Homeland Security Threat level has been raised to "orange", how many people have a clue what that means. We are going to suffer another attack down the road because we are Politically Correct, can't racial profile, the ACLU would have a field day. I used to like to travel, now I hate it and as soon as I retire I will go by car, or fly myself as much as possible. Thanks for listening to my rant!
