Looks like we've REALLY learned our lesson and spent those countless billions (on no-bid contracts I'm sure) wisely. As I've stated and I'm sure many here already know, the TSA is there to LOOK like it's serving a purpose, but the only thing it does is cause endless grief.

They implemented techniques like the TSA to whitewash the nightmare of security that they should have been fixing. Now we see that we will be reduced to mindless numbers with no rights when we board a flight. I think it's time someone holds these folks accountable. Where are the X-Ray scanners for checked baggage and many other promised security improvements? This should be a non-issue at this point, certainly for an international hub like Heathrow. Security hole big enough to steer an oil tanker through I'd say.
