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.

Of course that's possible, but a 767 @ 475 knots with 375 innocent
passengers is a much more effective "terror" weapon (and is harder to
stop) than a Cessna @ 140 knots with a single willing pilot and some
cargo. If that ever happens look for private aviation to take a huge
hit.


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.

Their methods are questionable, but it's much harder for a real threat
to make it through security. And I think it's always been about
calming the herd. The real security work is not done by the TSA
drones we see at the airport.
