The TSA has an impossible task. Complaints against the TSA will continue to grow more strident right up until the first successful attack, then everyone will want to know where the TSA was and why their own pet projects and common-sense best practices were not in place. It is no surprise to this frequent flyer that the checkpoint staff ain't the best and brightest -- who in their right minds would want to to that job if they had other options?
