Everything you said I assume is an assumption on your part. Nowhere have I said that the TSA is perfect, ideal, good, etc. I said that having the TSA is much preferable to having no screening measures whatsoever.

Nobody is claiming the TSA is ideal. Take a second to read the following comment - "If TSA is an ineffective means of instituting these safety precautions, then let's propose an alternative solution. Would be much more productive than endlessly harping about how much TSA sucks."

My main point is either propose a more effective solution or stop complaining. Because regardless of whatever your beliefs and protests are, complaining about the TSA will do nothing to get rid of them. And that is the main point, which can be generally applied to complaining about anything. Either fix [it] or live with [it]. You add nothing to the world by complaining about [it].

I think people are losing a basic grasp of safety precautions in favor of the immediate gratification of easier travel. If we didn't have any checks at all, it would be far easier to disrupt flights and more likely than not increase dangerous occurrences. If TSA is an ineffective means of instituting these safety precautions, then let's propose an alternative solution. Would be much more productive than endlessly harping about how much TSA sucks.
