  Good! Don’t fly. I know hundreds of TSA workers and nearly all are parents or grandparents. They don’t even like to have to check the kids but it has to be done to prevent the kids being perfect bomb mules.

  A terrorist would love it if all children, babies and old people. It’d be a great opportunity, a guaranteed success. Just friendly up with a sweet old lady that can’t take care of herself. She’ll be used to being dressed by someone else. Or kill some young couple and steal their child. No problem dressing a baby or child with explosives. Not all terrorists are dark skinned with turbans on their heads. TSA doesn’t ask for ID for children or babies.

  Babies don’t dress themselves, change themselves, buy plane tickets, or drive themselves to airports either but somehow all this stuff happens to them. Hmmmm I wonder if a muslim extremist would think of kill a young couple and taking their small or handicapped child on a plane with explosives on him. By the way islam is common in many countries and spreading like cancer. Terrorists can be blond and blue eyed. Terrorism is an ideology not a race. Timothy McVeigh was white and he was a terrorist.

  So, we exempt children and babies completely from screening. Think anyone will take a baby or small child on a plane just to use him as a bomb? I do. Why not? Anyone willing to blow up a plane that will undoubtedly have at least one baby or child on it isn’t going to feel bad about sacrificing one kid, and you are guaranteed to succeed because no one will check the little guy. By exempting children and babies from screening you are insuring they will be exploited by terrorists.

  TSA should not check cute little babies and children!!! Terrorists will never notice we are not checking them and kidnap them to use as bombs!!!! A terrorist would NEVER exploit a cute little baby or child in that way!!! Ok, maybe a terrorist would strap a bomb on a baby or child……. but we would KNOW, right? We don’t need to CHECK them. I personally would much rather risk having an entire easily identified class of people that terrorists could use as bombs then allow MY child to be patted down by a polite government official. I bet he wasn’t even that polite! The video was likely touched up. The kid looked completely traumatized too! I say kill the TSA people!!! No good COMMIES!!!

• Will Privatizing Airport Security Be Cheaper AND Safer? Many Airports Think So

  You’re an idiot. Obama didn‘t create TSA and the majority of TSA employees don’t support him. airport security isn’t going away and the government WILL be the ones regulating it so we will all have to deal with it. Let’s focus on getting some decent government officials in place, once that happens regulations will likely dial back some. We need good legislators to get rid of the nanny state mentality. If we can do that we can prevent more government control and hopefully repeal some that already affects us.

  I’m pretty sure there are security companies that would take that chance but as for how it works out….ask the owners of Argenbright. That was the main security company that worked almost all airports before 9/11. It no longer exists so I‘m not sure how you’d track them down, but good luck.

  I know, the grass is greener on the other side. I remember private security. It wasn’t any better. You don’t want private security. You want the good old days when you were allowed to bring your 4 inch knife on board, keep your shoes on and the screeners would basically pretend to check you and let you walk to the gate with your friends. Well, there was a time when you could carry a gun on a plane and there was no security at all. I don‘t think we’ll ever go back to that though, and if you do, I think your kidding yourself. After 9/11 private security had already started prohibiting every sharp object including fish hooks and the tiny nail file in your nail clippers. They required all shoes that had metal in them removed and x-rayed, and they required random/continuous wanding and explosive testing of carry on bags,laptops and shoes. That was required before TSA took over our airport.

  TSA is already largely military personnel, as well as retired police and corrections. There are also a fairly large amount of former private security screeners that were citizens and able to pass the back ground check, drug testing and english proficiency test.

  You are wrong. FAA which regulated the security at the time permitted box cutters on board aircraft at the time. The terrorists brought box cutters aboard and the passengers passively allowed them to take over the plane because the conventional thinking at the time said cooperate and you’ll be okay. FAA no longer regulates security, TSA does. Box cutters are not permitted and most people would resist if a terrorist attacked a plane now.
