"[The Transportation Security Administration] must be abolished totally and nothing short of that will bring liberty back to air travel."
This article is firmly against the TSA, and despite being biased, poses a few legitimate points against it. It states that the Conservatives are calling for racial profiling, which the author dismisses as ineffective for a number of reasons as well as being racist. He then says the Liberals support the TSA in full, and deny the negative aspects of this. Neither of those statements should be relied upon because of the changing nature of American Politics. After discussing how the TSA failed on one occaison, the author then suggests that airport-contracted private security companies is the most efficient and least invasive way to handle terrorist threats.

He writes about an experience he had where the security scanner had malfunctioned and went off when he went through and the TSA refused to let him go through the scanner again they forced him to have a full body pat down. He also argues that because screenings are random that are not based on risk assessments take away attention from protecting against passengers that are at a higher risk for danger. He argues that the TSA is unnecessary and it revokes civil liberties without providing any additional protection or security. ]]> 2017-01-23 14:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hiscottc/vk0nc7qx8nl1/wish/148730681 Source #2 Summary hiscottc https://padlet.com/hiscottc/vk0nc7qx8nl1/wish/148730872 This article lists statistics that provide evidence that the TSA  actively protects us from airport threats.

It claims that the scanners violate personal privacy and don't actually do their job. The scanners only show what is outside the body and don't show anything under the skin. The article goes on saying that the scanners only look for threats that we know about and terrorists can and will find other ways around them. Overall the author is strongly opposed to the full body scanners and even mentions an opt-out day for refusing to use the scanners.]]> 2017-01-25 01:08:36 UTC https://padlet.com/hiscottc/vk0nc7qx8nl1/wish/149204757 Christian Autor's picture autorc https://padlet.com/hiscottc/vk0nc7qx8nl1/wish/149204850 2017-01-25 01:09:46 UTC https://padlet.com/hiscottc/vk0nc7qx8nl1/wish/149204850 Christian Autor Source #2 citation autorc https://padlet.com/hiscottc/vk0nc7qx8nl1/wish/149205634 Pistole, John S.

This is not surprising since it was written by the TSA's administrator. The article states that the TSA has been a very impressive mobilization of federal workers and has made great strides in security since the 2001 attacks and before.
