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> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The TSA&#8217;s current budget is $4.7 Billion.

No!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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&#8217;t so serious.</p><p> 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.</p><p> 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.

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?

I always look to see who benefits most from things and the truth is that our government was able to strip our rights clean away from us while going to Iraq and stuffing their cronies with fresh American Tax Dollars by the billions. Add in a triple to the price of oil courtesy of world tension Iraq caused, Halliburton&#039;s stock going ballistic and all evidence points to Dick and George. Who else can get everything so totally shut down on that morning?I think there are very few informed people around who buy the Al Qaeda fairy tale these days or the fact that jet fuel, which is kerosene which burns no hotter than 1500 degrees, could melt structural beams that melt at 2,200 degrees and accomplish that deed in an hour or less without the help of C-4 or cordite which some firemen said they smelled that morning. Explosives smell a whole lot different than oil products and work a whole lot faster.As a former steelworker, I&quot;ve had a very tough time buying the jet fuel did it story. I&#039;ve welded a lot of steel and alloys and there is no way kerosene melts steel no matter who says so. It&#039;s impossible plain and simple. The fireball clearly shows the fuel atomizing as the planes hit burning near completely off as well.... so where did the fuel come from that burned the beams if little was left?The story is so stupid and full of holes I wonder how anyone buys it.I&#039;m not half as worried about airline hijackers as I am Constitutional Hijackers. They have been burning the midnight oil ever since 9-11.GlenGary,
