#1 It certainly is 'theater' at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport.

#2 When our Obama imported Syrians begin wearing suicide belts, you really think TSA is going to show up for work then, too?

#3 Or they are at the local donut shop. Las Vegas Airport had (still has?) a [male] disgusting fat pig for a TSA "agent". If this pig is the face of TSA, then, by golly, it's no wonder....

#4 Subcontract it all out to El Al. Remove judicial ~~lawfare~~ review. However, you really don't want 'effective', you want political theater.

#6 In 2016 I’m sure it was theater. What will it be in 2018, now that they’re under new management?

#7 Adding insult to injury, the TSA announced that it will be gradually increasing its highly intrusive personal frisks of passengers

Are they going to start having us bring our own lube now?

#8 It depends on what the real objective was in creating the TSA. For “W” is was optics after 911. For the Democrats, 30,000 more tenured voters on the federal tab for life.
