TSA: Yet Another "Feel Good" Measure

Does TSA make us safer?  Probably not.

I agree with the notion that the hassles Americans have to put up with going through airport security lines in the United States is an imposition and creates less freedom with little results to show for it.  It may in some small way be a deterrent, but I think simply makes people "feel good" about the safety of our skies rather than actually being effective in the real world.  Besides, Americans are far more likely to be involved in a fatal car accident than be directly affected by an act of terrorism.  Why are we wasting the time and resources of both our government and the private citizens who must stand in line?  Aren't there better ways that those resources can be used?

If we continue to allow every failed terrorist's attempt to destroy our confidence and add an item to the TSA list of procedures and prohibited items, then we are allowing them to shackle all of us. The best response to terrorism is to continue the American way of life through commerce and freedom, not increasing the length of airport security lines.
