It is perhaps America’s most unsafe airport. Despite being the
launching point for one of the planes hijacked on 9/11 — Flight 93,
which crashed in Pennsylvania — Newark Airport has had numerous security
violations since. The latest: a fake bomb that made it past
Transportation Security Administration officers. Here, a Newark TSA
screener who recently left the agency tells how silly policies and lazy
workers do little to stop real threats:
A LOT of what we do is make-believe.
I’ve had to screen small children and explain to their parents I had no choice but to “check” them. I would only place my hands on their arms and bottom half of their legs, and the entire “pat-down” lasted 10 seconds. This goes completely against TSA procedure.

It isn't about safety anyway its about control and achieving the attitude you are cattle and we can do anything we please, you have no rights. That is true if one does not exercise them. We deserve what we get because no one can do anything to you that you do not allow; plain and simple.
