You are either well aware of you connotations when you swipe at Fox News, or you live under a rock.

Well OK... but don't tell it to Fox News Channel president Roger Ailes. You'll insult the old man. He makes NO APOLOGIES about his political news channel. He's been a Rebublican consultant for presidents Nixon, Regan and Bush. Rumors are that he may make a run of his own for the Republican nomination in 2012.

Going back over to the TSA side of the discussion ---- if I remember correctly, it was established to replace the loosly organized, poorly trained, lowly paid private security screeners that allowed 19 bad guys to board airplanes with box cutters to cut pilots throats. So far so good -- no repeats to date. Still gotta work on those underwear bombers. Yes -- it has been expensive. Yes -- it is inconvenient. It's not quite as intrusive as that full body search under the watchful eyes of the guy with the machine gun I had to go thru in Taiwan back when the commies were coming.
Who really cares how much they're paid. It's certainly a job I would never want to do --almost as much fun as being a gate agent when flights are getting cancelled.

Anyway, enough with that. I agree that it needs to get back on topic.

ill get it back on topic by ranting against the TSA!!
Ill just say I really hope they keep their hands off the GA side of aviation, because they have ruined commercial travel. I honestly do not enjoy flying with a major airline anymore, It used to be fun! On the other hand, the worse they get, the better the private side of aviation looks. So as much as I dislike the way things are at airports, it means job security for GA pilots!

The problem is, they hired most of those "lowly paid private security screeners that allowed 19 bad guys to board airplanes with box cutters", as TSA agents...

Airport security is all it can be, it will not get any better regardless of how much we pay them.
