Commenters attack snarky TSA blogger

Libertylover, I personally do not have a problem with the TSA searching for weapons, explosives and incendiaries, if the search is reasonable. The TSA can look in my wallet for a weapon, but they have no right to read the love letter from my wife.

I do believe that the majority of searches conducted by the TSA are constitutional, as they are reasonable. In a case where a TSO crosses the line, the punishment should be swift and severe.

It seems to make sense that an airline would be more vigilant because of the great expense of losing a plane, but if you look at the lack of maintenance they try to get away with you will see that safety is not their priority.

Unfortunately we need the TSA (or similar), aircraft are spectacular targets, if you can bring just one down you will stop all air travel for at least two days causing a huge hit on the economy.

We should not disband the TSA, just fix it so it offers real security. No more unguarded luggage, no more dangerous Pilot ID programs, no more unscreened cargo.
