Adam Ruins Everything: The TSA creates an illusion of security, doesn't stop terrorists.

1. The TSA is nothing but a giant boondoggle! n/t

2. No, it doesn't stop terrorism

The TSA merely reduces the chances someone will make it onto a plane wit a bomb. There are many, many other things that don't stop terrorists: the US military, the intelligence community, etc.

3. we need to redefine

the word terrorist. The white guy that shot up the classroom was a terrorist.
After traveling abroad this summer, I hope that I never have to get on another jet in my life ugh but I know I will. The TSA 'theater' is ridiculous.

4. and a no-fly list just tells terrorists who can an can't fly.

And the fact that some travelers can pay to avoid security just makes air travel another pilot program for our two tiered system of human rights.

5. The TSA is one of two jobs programs in the U.S. The other is the military.

The TSA does nothing useful except to give work to people and allow a few bigwigs to skim lotsa $$$ off the top. Like the military.
