Abolish (DUH) The TSA

The TSA is an insult to human decency. They are completely ineffective, except as a means of stealing liberty, personal property (and $8.1 billion taxpayer dollars annually) Make the airlines 100% liable for any property damage or bodily injury, and be done with it. The TSA doesn't need to be improved, it needs to be abolished.

Establishment Organ Admits the TSA is a Money-Grubbing Waste

Unconventional Wisdom - An FP Special Report | Foreign Policy. "Hardly anyone has seriously scrutinized either the priorities or the spending patterns of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its junior partner, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), since their hurried creation in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Sure, they get criticized plenty. But year in, year out, they continue to grow faster and cost more -- presumably because Americans think they are being protected from terrorism by all that spending. Yet there is no evidence whatsoever that the agencies are making Americans any safer.

DHS serves only one clear purpose: to provide unimaginable bonanzas for favored congressional districts around the United States, most of which face no statistically significant security threat at all. "

The TSA: What If Reducing Air Travel Is The Goal?

So what if the TSA is actually doing what it is really intended to do?

A bonus for the oligarchs is that it makes it harder to expatriate some or all of your wealth. Others have already posited that a primary goal of the porno-scanners is to prevent expatriation of gold. Add that to the 1099 rules in Obamacare, and what we essentially have are backdoor exchange controls to prevent or retard escape from the dollar.

For ordinary folks of course. The oligarchs labor under no such restrictions. They are already setting up their next external profit opportunity.
