Does anybody find this quote particularly amusing?
"Some airlines have elected not to do what we would like to see them do, which is take care of the innocent passengers and not inconvenience them," said TSA administrator Kip Hawley.

Heres my question as a lowly FO now required by the TSA to do an 11 panel inspection every AM and when going to or from Mexico. If I don't do said inspection I get fined for not doing my job. Now lets say I find something, that means the TSA wasn't doing their job, right? (they let someone close enough to the airplane who shouldn't be there and who hid some dangerous object in an access panel). Do I get to fine them? It drives me crazy to no end how the TSA gets to heap all this blame and responsibility and dolling out fines on every one else while they just kinda shrug and say "we'll do better next time" when they miss 20 of 23 fake guns, bombs and knives sent through security (EWR last year).

I still haven't gotten an answer as to why TSA asked me multiple times (harrassment) for my birth certificates soon after 9/11. Only because I was foreign born. On US property at a NAS hospital in spain. To 2 US citizens, serving their country in the armed forces...
