Comment: It't a JOKE

Comment: No! but it does create more jobs. from Pensacola,Fl by Flower

Comment: screening here in the states are a joke. if one ever flys out of other countries in asia and europe, they know what airport security is all about! from p'cola fl by h

Comment: Too much time and effort is wasted on 80 year old caucasian grandmothers and not enough on likely terrorists. from Ft Walton Beach by Roger

Comment: Yes, I feel the concept is right on; but the uniformed, airport terminal TSA personnel I've seen haven't a sense of duty or accomplishment. I apologize to those professionals whom I have not had contact, but the ones I have seen are in it for a paycheck, NOT FOR anything else. from Mary Esther, FL. by Tom

Comment: TSA and Homeland "Security"= the 21st century's version of the Keystone Cops. A complete waste of taxpayers' money. from Cantonment, Fl. by Jeff

Comment: even though the waits may be longer security precautions need to be at a very high level to protect the US

Comment: Absolutey not. The U.S. needs to implement the same exact procedures that Israel has in place. from Navarre, FL by Jim

Comment: All that was needed in the first place was 1) locked, secured cockpit doors, 2) air marshal(s) on board every flight, and 3)allowing pilots to have firearms (if licensed). The rest is window dressing. from Pensacola / FL by Rick

Comment: As long as we have an idiot like Janet Naolitano head of our National Security, we are not safe. She doesn't know what she's doing. She charged the terrorist that almost blew up a plane with attempted murder and said that it was almost a "man made disaster". What a NUT! This guy is a terrorist and should be tried by a military court. People wake up to these idiots. The U.S. Government is Corrupt. from Pensacola by Glen

Comment: With the National Security we have in Washington. I would not dare get on any plane. They are a Joke. from Ft Walton by David

Comment: No...I do not think that our government takes terrorism seriously (within our borders) until something happens like recent events during the holidays. We need to either commit or call off the TSA! from Pensacola by John

Comment: I THINK IT IS A GREAT IDEA BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE GETTING CRAZY THESE DAYS! from BAKER FLORIDA by SUSAN

Comment: On one side I do see the importance in traveling safe, but I'd much rather see my tax dollars going finding solutions to finding people employment and other "America" issues first. from Milton by Matt
