Why Airport Security Is So Bad In The U.S.
There once was a time when getting through airport security was quick and easy. But after the attacks on 9/11, the TSA, or Transportation Security Administration, was created and security screenings became much more thorough. With millions of people passing through TSA checkpoints everyday, this can create excruciating long lines, especially during holiday travel. Despite enhancements in technology like millimeter wave imaging and CT scanners, the airport security process has been slow to evolve.
But that may soon be changing. Delta, JetBlue, and American Airlines are just a few of the U.S. airlines starting to test facial recognition for boarding and TSA checkpoints. The TSA is also working with companies on designing better screeners so passengers don’t have to remove anything from bags and can leave their shoes on. CNBC explores how far we’ve come in airport security and the ways the TSA and airlines are looking to speed up and make airport security even safer.

TSA hires the unemployable and gives them an undeserved badge-they are not sworn law enforcement officers. These substandard security guards would never get past the first stage of a law enforcement application. 🙊

Believe me, reinforcing cockpit doors was a decisive countermeasure against hijackings, creating TSA wasn't.

Send out a list of people whose criminal history makes them too dangerous to fly out to every airport. The person checking your ID can check if you're on the list. On the list = go through security screening. off the list = the TSA doesn't screen you or your belongings.

Airport security check points are unnecessary for the same reasons why it's unnecessary to have security check points at bus stops and train stations.

Anyone who works for the TSA should be ashamed of themselves. Wretched idiots, not everyone in the US is a terrorist and it hasn't even gone up except for the incidents where the FBI was found out to be grooming depressed kids and teenagers into doing it along with funding their endeavor in buying firearms.

Well, if airport security was "quick and easy" then another 911 could happen. Why can't travelers just have some patience and understand that the world doesn't revolve around them, and they're not the only ones going through TSA. Some travelers are unprepared and don't do their own research, so the slowness is on them and not the TSA. Yes, there are some TSOs that might screw up here and there. Ultimately, it's for your security. The TSA definitely makes it harder for criminals and terrorists (WHO STILL EXIST) to be able to bring dangerous weapons onto planes and into airports and other places. This is CLASSIC CNBC propaganda. Well done, fools.

TSA is a bunch of crooks who hire people with feelings of inferiority to break laws, confiscate properties, humiliates and add the air traveling anxiety with their pathologic behavior. This mafia business is walking blindly with pathological hatters toward disaster. I don't believe this corrupt corporation is doing anything positive as far as security. They are just abusing the system and taking advantage of the Terrorist attacks on US soil.

TSA is garbage! On the last leg of my trip back home from Iraq years ago, I was in a dirty DCU uniform that I had on for 2 WEEKS. They made me take off my boots, belt and blouse. It was OBVIOUS where I was coming from and I really didn't want to take them off, considering how disgusting I was at the time. They are a bunch of uneducated, glorified security guards.
Luckily the sweet flight attendants came back to me when I was seated and said, "Oh no, this is not your seat. You will be sitting in first class." It was a welcome situation after the embarrassment I went through at screening.

The way I see it, we don't want another 9/11 so if you have to Wait a couple extra minutes to be fully checked then so be it. It's more important than being dead.

Targeting the wrong person is a huge waste of time and incompetent method of finding bombers. While TSA are busy feeling up my 🐈 because (like most Black women) I have naturally thick thighs and hips that causes the racist programmed body scan alarm go off, the real criminals and terrorists are over looked 🙄

TSA is an agency of the Department of Homeland Security and was born from the events of 9/11. TSA was meant to be what it is today, a draconian agency there to POLICE the AMERICAN PEOPLE, not keep them safe.

TSA security screening is security theater, and has never stopped a terrorist attack. Also every attempted terrorist attack (successful or thwarted) that we know of, has passed threw TSA security screening. Them saying otherwise is pure BS.
