You Tell'em Penn Jillette
Great story from Penn Jillette on his response to treatment from the TSA. It's pretty clear that the TSA is essentially overpaid rent-a-cops. Their entire operation is designed as an assembly line with jobs broken down to simple repetitive tasks that require little judgement or thought on the part of those doing them. As long as that is the case, the TSA will not accomplish much in the way of preventing terrorism and will accomplish a whole lot in terms of insulting and harassing air passengers.
