U.S. Military Troops May Soon Be Expedited Through TSA Security Screenings At Airports
U.S. Rep. Chip Cravaack (R-Minn.) has introduced a bill in the house that would allow military members to pass through TSA security checkpoints at the nations airports faster by bypassing long security lines and is called the Risk Based Security Screening for Members of the Armed Forces Act.

I'll bet anyone the ranch that thinks the TSA will not accept this at face value. That bloated bureacracy will find a way to keep everyone employed and, more than likely, find ways to grow. That organization has taken on a life of it's own. They are kill proof. The wonks that run that monster will do whatever is necessary to protect it. If they have to let a few soldiers slip by, so be it as long as they live to spend and waste another day.
take out the word "not" in the first sentence
Anyone notice this "bloating" of the government is being proposed by a Republican from Minnesota. Probably seeking the military's support for the coming election. In case you wonder, I have nearly 27 years in the USAF.
No one has even addressed the other bad feature of this bill. We have many Army Navy surplus stores where anyone can buy a uniform. That combined with counterfeit orders just opens up the opportunity for another 9/11 terrorist to slip through. If we want to do something along these lines for all travelers, let's go to the iris scanning system used in the U.K. for expediting screening with less groping and radiation.

Great! somehow I see the TSA growing even bigger now that they'll be chartered to integrate with the entire DOD personnel & family files.
Great, the people who have access to machine guns and hand grenades exempt from security. Anybody remember the Fort Hood massacre? I don't think it's safe to presume that just because somebody is enlisted that they're automatically not a danger, slightly backwards logic I think.

Moi aussi!
More pat downs. More xrays. More more more. What's enough for the serial gropers at TSA. Amy, do you in your heart really believe that anything you've done at a checkpoint has stopped an incident onboard an aircraft? Please, if you can't be honest with us, be honest with yourself.
You poor curmudgeon! Alot of others share my sentiments regarding this article. I am not for more x-rays or pat downs. I advocate safety. Period.
A lot of others may share your sentiment, the majority of which work at the TSA. If you won't answer the question I've asked publicly, I hoped you answered it to yourself. Hey, since Andy Rooney has died, someone has to take over the role of curmudgeon.
Hey, it's the Richard and Amy show again, lol :P
I'm here for you, Alistair
I know. I think Amy works in the PR department at the TSA. No one else would invest this much time in defending a bloated, useless Federal agency.
