Why should I just “put up with” more aggressive search procedures than we use on the battlefield? How the hell is this really stopping anything? How is this not just TSA/Government theater to make people “think” something is being done and that they are “safe”.

I don’t feel any safer with these screening procedures for domestic flights, it’s moronic, it’s pissing people off and it’s an insane waste of money. Claiming that anyone on the other side of the issue is simply being “manipulated” is inaccurate and dismissive.

Want me to feel safer? Put all this time, effort and money into ensuring that our aircraft are maintained, our pilots are rested, our air traffic controllers post are sufficiently/competently staffed and that their is enough space in a plane so I don’t feel as if I’m a sardine riding in a death trap.
