Default OT not getting to Barbados the hard way

In article aa0fbb58-8b90-4c9d-957c-48c214ce0541

Persons on private flights are not subjected to TSA molestation but,
they have the capacity to fly the plane into something because they have
control of it already.


Private airplanes, in general, don't carry 375 innocent people that
just want to get to a destination, and the vast majority aren't the
size of a 767.


You are thinking in the wrong direction. On 9/11 they didn't care about
the number of passengers on board they used the airplanes as guided
missles. A Cessna 182 can carry about 800 lbs of "cargo" besides the
pilot.

The TSA is nothing more than a jobs program.


It's a little more than that, but not much. It's how our government
does airport screening / security. What else do we want to turn over
to them?


By confiscating nail clippers and bottles of shampoo.
