I haven’t hated on TSA in a while
Not only will the TSA open your bags and take pictures of the contents to post on twitter, the feds will later steal your money because you must have been up to something.

So you’re saying the TSA is doing the job it was created to do. Well then they should be commended, shouldn’t they? What’s with the hate?
July 1st, 2015 at 8:37 pm
Yes, doing the job they were created to do as long as that job description includes fondling children, puncturing colostomy bags of senior citizens, making invalids attempt to walk through magnetometers, sharing naked pictures of plebs, harassing gun owners, &c. Exactly how many terror incidences has the TSA thwarted?

“Exactly how many terror incidences has the TSA thwarted?
Irrelevant. That’s not their job. Their job is to harass Americans so that a) we find out for once what it’s like, and b) we become more accustomed to being humiliated, following orders and being herded around like cattle.
No, Sir; the terrorism thing is convenient cover. Doesn’t matter. It could be be any excuse and so long as Americans are being demoralized and desensitized to following orders they’re doing their job. They at least deserve some kudos for a job so well done for all these years. It’s one of the few truly successful federal government programs. You’re getting your money’s worth, so please stop complaining.

So, for the sake of argument, you’re going on vacation and don’t use credit/debit cards. Except for the money you plan to use that day, you lock the remainder of your cash in your suitcase. Since you are going to nice places, lets say there is several thousand dollars in your luggage. Does that give the TSA and DEA the right to seize your money? Absent a crime, I don’t see how that is legal or right.

Mike V -shhh! Once somebody mentions the idea to them, the TSA will definitely start seizing credit cards and maxing them out.
‘Why do you have such a high credit limit, if you weren’t planning to do something illegal with all that money?’

Even if the money had not been seized by other agencies, the TSA put the traveler and money at risk by tweeting the picture.

Privatize the security to the airlines. They are the ones with the vested interest in keeping their planes safe. They are also a little bit interested in not pissing off their customers.
If the FAA/TSA stepped out, I could see some airlines allowing (or better yet, issuing) firearms for passengers. So when some muslim jumps up and yells “Aloha Snackbar” they get put down like a rabid dog. Other airlines will force people to fly naked after a body cavity search. Let the people choose which airline and security approach they will accept.
There is one other approach we should try. Remove all security from the airline experience except the locked cockpit door and inform the whole world that if one of our aircraft is hijacked or bombed that we will nuke a random muslim city. Perhaps start if off with a demonstration of our resolve by melting Medina and saying Mecca would be on a short list of next targets. I guarantee they will reel in their extremists.

Yeah, airport gates have become cattle gates.
Every time I think of Bush 43’s TSA, I can’t help but think of all the money that taxpayers could have saved if the airlines had just purchased Louisville Sluggers and loaned them out with compliments to every passenger that wanted one.
