TSA at the airports...Not Any Safer....

[rsmith6621]

Thousands of holiday travelers are likely to be greeted by long lines at the security gates at airports across the country.

But a new study suggests the extra security measures the Transportation Security Administration adopted in recent years in an attempt to beef up security have not made air travel any safer.

The study conducted by a team at the Harvard School of Public Health found no evidence that making travelers take their shoes and belts off at security checkpoints or banning large containers of liquid items actually prevented any incidents.

The study, which was reported in the British Medical Journal, concluded there is no evidence that the measures actually increase the safety of the passengers.

TSA is just a MONEY PIT in the pocketbook of America....nothing but recycled contract security employees who did nothing to secure our sky back then....TSA is nothing but a face.

1. Wow ya think? I still can't find a single TSA person who can

tell my why it wasn't safe to bring my lighter on a plane 2 months ago but today it's fine. Airport security is a joke. Not only is it a joke but does anyone think that a terrorist is going to get away with hijacking another plane with some pathetic excuse for a weapon?
