Gotta ask...
When was the last time the TSA stopped a "terrorist" plot that WASN'T run by one of our intelligence agencies? All I can think of is the underwear dude, and anyone that stupid is gonna get caught anyway.
Royd's right - what happens when the TSA shows up on buses? Trains? You see where this is going. The Feds (not sure if TSA or not) have already been setting up checkpoints in some states. If anyone's paranoid, it's our government. Even better: unmanned spy drones are being launched from 63 locations in 20 states. Somebody needs to start a fund to reward the first patriot to shoot one down.
No, the TSA shouldn't double its fees. It should not exist. It's inept, paranoid, violates people's rights, and is overall useless. There are many, many, MANY places besides airplanes where terrorists could strike - malls, subways, basically anywhere that's crowded. If someone REALLY wants to blow up a bunch of people, the TSA is not going to stop them. The obvious solution, of course, is to have a policeman in every home. No crime or terrorism! Or freedom!
The TSA is exactly why I hate the idea of flying. I've flown once, and I never want to again, unless it's absolutely necessary. I don't know about you, but I don't like the idea of being groped by a perverted bureaucrat that was dredged up from the bottom of society.
