[...] The first big change is that the TSA will remove about half the names on its no-fly list, after coming under criticism for maintaining a completely useless list that does nothing to enhance security while catching innocent Americans in its net. [...]

341, I also have been detained and inconvenienced by the “no-fly” list.
It is of no value other than to cause real terrorists to explore new ways
to circumvent operations procedures. But, to say “those TSA workers are a
bunch of retards is a bit judgemental. I would say they are not so much
retards as improperly trained or undertrained. Most, with little or no previous
experience in physical security work, are given a minimal amount of “training”
and then sent out to perform great and wonderful feats in physical security
to thwart the real terrorists. On top of this add low pay, long hours, and
hundreds or thousands of inconvienced travelers with whom they must contend on a
daily basis. Travelers who often are obnoxious and nasty but still want to
be protected from acts of terrorism. I’d say provide them with better pay,
much, much better training and perhaps the “no-fly” list stupidity may be
corrected to reflect actual bad boys and girls.

IÂ´m on that so called list, as I frequent the Middle East a lot. I have
been detained in Dulles on more than one occasion.
IÂ´m not Middle Eastern, in any event those TSA workers are bunch of
retards.
