The TSA
can't defend against that kind of attack, except by being the target themselves. A shiny badge is just an aiming point for a certain kind of person. And y'all have the stones to spite them for it?
I fail to see the connection with our TSA vs private security and Rome/Vienna......the Rome/Vienna incidents happened OUTSIDE OF SECURITY CHECKPOINTS AT THE CHECK IN COUNTER. How would ANYTHING the TSA currently does (or any security measure we have in place now) prevent that kind of incident???? That's like blaming private airport security for the robbery at the Kmart down the street.
