“They should feel relieved knowing that technology has advanced so significantly that T.S.A. officers can detect threats while wearing shoes,” he added. “In the old days, this wasn’t the case.”
The TSA agents don’t need to be anywhere or wear anything to do their jobs. The TSA is a public works jobs program disguised in a way that no one in Congress can argue against because it’s in the name of fighting the “enemy” nothing more.
I don't mind a public works program, but it'd be nice if we got something useful out of it, rather than just annoyance and maybe reduced demand for air travel because of said annoyance.
