that you cannot wage war on something called "terror." and everytime we do that, we lose freedoms. The TSA is rife with corruption, theft, and inappropriate techniques that border on sexual assault. There is no evidence to support the fact that we are safer due to TSA. The airlines would have privately implimented such on their own after 9/11 if they thought it would do any good. Speaking of profiling, at the Denver International Airport about every 8th employee of TSA is muslim. Oh yea, and a failed bombing attempt made by a denver citizen and his father-worked at the airport. It's a flawed premise agency just like the rest-but in this case, everytime you fly, unless you pay extra to get some low level security clearance to avoid the impossibly long lines, you're sock footed getting groped and possibly robbed.

I hate being agnostic, but I'm going to await other comments from perhaps better informed people on this great forum.

Coming down in favor of either the ACLU or the TSA makes me feel like I do when a liberal friend who knows my philosophy and politics tries to "wind me up" as the Brits say by asking questions like "Who would you rather have as President: Obama or Hillary?"

I haven't flown literally in years so I have no experience personally with the TSA, although I've heard the usual horror stories.

Imy only thoughts at this point are that I would hope they have some kind of intelligent screening program, and I would have no problem with some kind of "profiling" if it works. I just don't know.

If that's the case, it would certainly negate the program for the ACLU to succeed and make the screening protocols public.

What say others?
