This news from the Philadelphia Enquirer, relaying the news that TSA demanded a four-year-old boy with physical challenges take off his leg braces and walk through a security checkpoint.
He was being transported through the airport by wheelchair, on his first trip to Disney, by his mom and dad.
His dad is a police officer.
We can rest easy, knowing the TSA is on the job...no preschooler terrorist in a wheelchair will be able to slip through our foolproof airport security system. Only the twenty-something one, flying from Africa, on a ticket paid with cash, whose own father had urged our government to be on the lookout for him. He gets through, is subdued by a Dutchman, and given his own lawyer.
Yessiree, Bob!

The TSA is nothing more than a traveler harassment agency. It contributes nothing at all to airline security, not one thing. It has been shown repeatedly that it is possible to bring all manner of contraband on board an airplane with only minor effort, and yet they put the traveling public through all manner of indignities and inconvenience mostly for the perverted amusement of their employees.
The whole purpose of TSA is to persuade the people that "something is being done," rather than actually doing anything. We would be vastly better off is we were seriously out to accomplish this mission by profiling and other effective means (think Israeli), rather than simply putting on a show and bring PC.
TSA is disgusting!
