Come to think of it- Does anyone have any memory of the TSA actually finding a terrorist at a checkpoint??
How about John Tyner? He's on the nightly news for refusing to allow a pat down. Go John!!
Let the airlines sort it out as one body. The flying public and airline employees have no power to deal with a govt. agency.
As fo me, I'm driving to the Smoky Mts and Indiana for the holidays. Guess the old Buick will get a few more miles on her. Cost isn't hat much different, and we get to stop when we please. No stale peanuts or sandwiches either.

Do TSA employees go thru the body scanners and/or pat-downs before they come into the secure area when reporting for duty? If so, who operates the scanner or pats down the first person on duty? I ask because whatever vetting process they go thru to pass thru into the secure area with impunity could possibly be made available to aircrew.
The sad part of this is that when you get down to it, the pilots could control this. How? Airplanes don't fly, no need for TSA. I think some folks got together in Boston some years back and said they have had enough. Guess what? they stood together and made believers out of those who tried to take away liberties. I like many others, have had enough of Washington dictating what I do or don't do. Taking our hard earned money and giving it away to a program that does not work or has no " common sense" built into it. Dump the tea into the harbor.
Keith is late-- For a very important date. No time to say hello, good-bye, he's late, he's late, he's late.
But seriously. I wonder how much economic loss is created by all the waiting in line to be poked, prodded and scan/searched? After all many people fly for their living. It's time to toss the house of cards.
