[some airports have] already replaced the TSA with private contractors.

A step in the right direction, eh?

The TSA is working on a new plan to reduce security lines

Less cancer-rays, TSA agents, plz?

your best bet is still to sign up for TSA PreCheck.

Fuck this article -- extortion in order to not be groped or bombarded with untested radio wavelength, Moreover, the PreCheck basically undermines the whoie purpose of a security checkpoint, aye?

Those damn [redacted]-funded airplane hijacking motherfuckers, along with our opportunistic politicians, really fisted us right in our liberties and common assumption of comfort,

“Individuals who come to the TSA checkpoint unprepared for a trip can have a negative impact on the time it takes to complete the screening process,”

You bring your bags, tickets, and passport -- what's to "prepare?"

Some details on this from the TSA would be nice, but I'm sure it's complete bunk.

"Unprepared" like yammering on the phone instead of taking off shoes, etc.

"Unprepared" like "forgetting" they had a laptop/bottle of water/etc. in the bag.

You're required to prepare for the TSA theater just like how they catch terrorists (you dont).

They're just complaining for either more money, expansion of their scope/abilities, perhaps both. Woiuldn't that be fun?

"Only TSA approved shoes, luggage, accessories, and consumable items allowed beyond this point -- You may purchace them at the TSAco kiosk next to the lavatories at Gate 49."

Abolish the TSA. Replace with private companies that will treat you like a customer, since there contract depends on it.

And I have the Federal Government to blame for almost everything including that. Want to play the blame game? I'll fuck you up every time. Seriously. When are we going to fucking disband that shithole of an agency? Security should be privatized.

Ha privatised! Then you can pay to be groped! Good work fella!

The security theatre exists because private corps see money in it, then that politician used crony capitalism to get his backscatter machines put in all American airports.

The USA is so fucked up that socialism is capitalism is privatisation.

Isn't the socialization of services a pillar of something? What was that again?

So frustrating as we're all neutered in the politcal "progess," and all the while this machine grows in scope, cost; stripping us of our freedoms and clout without end.
