The TSA should be disbanded

[Lemur]

I still believe that tough security is the best way to ensure that terrorists can never attack us again in a 9/11 way.

Wha? You mean, hijacking a passenger jet and using it as a weapon? You think ground security is preventing that?

Friend, that was a one-shot trick. The passengers and staff were passive because that's what they'd been told to do in a hijacking. Just stay cool, let the authorities negotiate with them, don't do anything foolish and you all will live. The hijackers knew this and used it to their advantage.

But what group of passengers will ever take the passive role after the attacks of 9/11? Hell, once they heard on the airphones that the planes were being used as weapons, didn't the passengers of United 93 run riot and take down their captors? Didn't passengers assault and disable Richard Reid the minute they figured out he was up to something?

No, passenger-plane-as-bomb will not work again, not in our lifetime. There's no way the civilians on board will allow a small number of evil smacktards to take over a plane in peace.

Seriously, you think the mouth-breathing power-mad idiots in the TSA are preventing such an attack? They're doing security theater, not security.
