The TSA hassling and groping of passengers does nothing for air line security, it just drives away paying passengers. Doesn't matter if the would be hijackers get weapons on board, the passengers will not allow them to take over the aircraft. Flight 93 proved that. Since that dreadful day there have been a number of incidents where unruly passengers were subdued, in one case by use of a fire axe, in flight by ordinary passengers. Passengers know that should hijackers take over the aircraft, they will die in the resulting crash, which is plenty of motivation to heroic action. In actual fact we would be safer in the air if all the passengers carried concealed handguns.
Recent press stories of the total failure of TSA gropers to find 95% of concealed weapons carried onto aircraft by inspectors, failure to detect 73 airport workers who obtained airport jobs and security badges despite being on the terrorist watch list, and plundering passenger's luggage, show that we would be better off if we disbanded the TSA completely. It would save money, and put a lot of democratic voters out of a job. Those are good things.

Save money, increase security, make air travel less distasteful, disband the TSA. What's not to like?
