		<description>Instead of taking on an &quot;If you don&#039;t like it, leave&quot; attitude, I&#039;d rather take an &quot;If you don&#039;t like it, fix it&quot; attitude. Use the system to fix the system.</description>

		<description>The TSA&#039;s current budget is $4.7 Billion.  The portion of that which is paid for by the airlines is $570 Million, the amount that the airlines reported as spent on security in 2000.  Passengers pay $2.50 per enplanement to the TSA, adding up to $1.9 Billion annually.  The remaining $2.2 Billion comes from taxpayers.  Now if the airlines only paid $570 Million in 2000 and caught +90% of all the banned items/substances.  Imagine what they would have been able to do if they spent the $2.5 Billion which air travel raises for the TSA?  Do you really think that a private company could not provide better security with less inconvenience to their customers for half the money that the TSA spends?  After all, the airlines are accountable to customers and shareholders.  The shareholders will not put up with them spending $4.7 Billion per year on security, and neither will the customers.    They also would not put up with the airlines being sued every other year for planes falling out of the sky.  The customers will not put up with overly invasive searches (strip search just because you are the 100th customer) and stupid rules (those bottles MUST be in quart bags not gallon bags, even though you only have 2 half ounce bottles)  from the airlines.  Not from the TSA who is accountable to NO NONE.</description>

		<description>From my encounters with the TSA I almost get the feeling that this is a WPA type program where they take almost unemployable unskilled people and give them just enough power to act like the Hitler Youth, the little minded Jackbooted thugs that get their shits and giggles by harassing people and taking stuff so unrelated to weaponry that it would be laughable if our bureaucratic mindless twits weren&#039;t so serious.

 It is smoke and mirrors and making security implement and consultant firms rich as all get out while they pipe contributions to political parties and give former public officials cushy high paying jobs to keep the game going just like the oil companies, just like Halliburton, just like the drug companies and the defense contractors.

 Terrorists can hit soft targets and infiltrate companies and entities and rarely hit twice high profile the same method and target because they know soft targets become hard targets after a good hit. They are not stupid. Seems we are if you look at our near open border policy that has probably slammed the Fifth Column into America already now lying in wait working in a community near you. So obvious a tactic and yet where do we see that discussed? No!</description>

		<description>This government survives by creating giant entities that soak up huge mountains of cash while doing essentially less than nothing except making some fat cats that sell everything from airport security equipment to voting machines to that do not work to feeding private security companies that hire mercenaries to shoot innocent people, to enforce rules, regulations and laws tailored to private industry while the public picks up the tab to be harassed, overcharged, kicked, lied to poisoned while being told &quot;We are the best in the world&quot; as we struggle under the runaway inflation this has all caused, this print and spend give away sanctioned at the highest level of our treasonous government.

 From border security to airport security to food and drug purity to the EPA, to mortgage securities, to the mission of the Federal Reserve, to Homeland Security to the VA to managing our fighting forces and on and on this government is broken beyond repair and corrupt beyond all reason.

 This thing is so corrupt it has no right to continue to stand unchallenged by the American people.  I&#039;m praying 08 brings a HUGE Change... but I wouldn&#039;t hold my breath on the intelligence of the majority that does little to be really informed and connect the dots. Most simply don&#039;t use the brains they were born with to figure things out until the cows are three miles from the barn.

		<description>Umm, Gee I wonder why the airports are in so much trouble financially... Who wants to put up with a bunch of BS security that doesn&#039;t even work?

Planes are not often hijacked.  It&#039;s not like an epidemic that needs drastic response.  There is a simple policy that would eliminate hijacking as a threat - and I believe it&#039;s probably been in place for some time - All planes that go drastically off course and considered a threat should simply be shot to pieces by the air force.  Not to be unsympathetic to the unfortunate passengers of hijacked airplanes, but if thousands of people are at risk we have to think about priorities.  If people knew before getting on the plane that a hijacking would lead to them being shot down and dying, well, you wouldn&#039;t let the bastards pull it of, would you?  That is what should have happened on 9/11... of course that&#039;s assuming that it was even possible for an airplane to knock down steel skyscrapers in the same manner and precision as a controlled demolition, which is contrary to reality and physics as we know it.

 So we&#039;re fighting a non-threat by annoying an scaring the crap out of everyone who flies to prevent the recurrence of something that is physically impossible and could not have happened the way we were told it did in the first place?  What are we stupid?</description>
