TSA Is a Complete Joke

TSA is allowing illegal aliens on planes without any ID whatsoever!  I told you that TSA is nothing but security theater!

Why do we assume the government should run airline security?

Why do we assume that government has the answers in terms of best safety practices for airlines? The airplanes passengers fly on are the property of the airlines. Each airline should be free to determine whatever security practices it believes is appropriate for the safety of the airline and the passengers. Airlines have every incentive to focus on protecting the airplane: not only is an airplane expensive to replace, but also, the loss of good will from an incident could easily put the airline out of business. Secondly, by having a diverse number of security practices, it would create a lot more unique solutions to securing the airline. Thirdly, airlines would never impose policies that would result in passengers being harassed. I highly doubt airlines would, if they could, pat down elderly grandmothers, children in wheelchairs, and toddlers, but the government does so, because government is about force, not wisdom.

TSA is a jobs creation program for incompetent buffoons

While you’re being harassed by TSA agents to take off your shoes, let them touch you in intimate locations, and bark orders to you as though you’re in a North Korean prison camp, a Nigerian immigrant has been able to use boarding passes that were not in his name and actually get on a commercial airline!  Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi flew from NYC to LA using an expired boarding pass in another man’s name.  During the flight, airline officials noticed that he was in a seat that was unsold.  They alerted the Los Angeles police department, the FBI, and TSA.  Incredibly, he was released without charge when he landed!  Yes, while you’re being harassed, the federal government is letting dangerous people like this out loose!  Could it be that TSA was created not for the purpose of security, but mainly as a jobs program for incompetent buffoons (in much the same way that our schools are a “jobs” program for incompetent teachers)? 

By the way, Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi was recently arrested for trying the same scheme again when he was trying to board a Delta flight from Los Angeles to Atlanta.
