Take TSA out of the political arena and make the frequent flyers pay for them!
I remember back in the good old days when when you checked into the airline and got your seat assignment and walked directly to the gate before Terrorists forced us to hire 50000 TSA people! In fact when I flew back home my wife and kids would meet me at the gate! The media is making a big deal about less than 1 in 500 TSA
quitting! It would be great if we could go back to the good old days but if not then let the flyers pick up the tab for the TSA instead of the non flying taxpayers!
And that is all I’m going to say about that!
