I’m starting to think the “T” in TSA stands for “Terrorist’s”. Then again, there wasn’t much effort by the parents to stop the thing that was terrorizing the child. Everybody involved shares in the blame here. Them for promoting it and we, the people, for tolerating it.
All this over control of passengers is so unnecessary, especially when there are better ways. Israel has proven that there are better ways with their model of security. They profile (gasp!), but it works. They also study facial expression and body language. Once again, it works. But then again they are looking to secure rather than control. The TSA is not about security, it’s about control of the citizenry. I mean, look who instituted it in the first place.
A dozen motivated people could put an end to the TSA nonsense (even without violence) within a month. It wouldn’t be legal and there be some short term economic impact to the country but they could end it.

I don’t know what the answer is, but this sure as hell isn’t it. That kid’s got an emotional scar that’s gonna take years to heal.
Call me a wuss, but I can’t bring myself to watch this. I just can’t. 🙁

I’m with you, Christina.
If I watch that video, it will make me write things that will get me in trouble…
Homeland Security got the acronym just backward. It shouldn’t be TSA it should be AST.
