POLL: Does the TSA Keep Us Safe?

The TSA recently searched a wheelchair-bound 3 year-old, sparking outrage from those who saw the incident on YouTube.

 

While passing through security in O'Hare airport on a trip to Disney World with family, a wheelchair-bound 3 year-old was frisked by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers, the Daily Mail reports. 

The incident was posted on YouTube, sparking backlash against the administration that monitors airline passengers which was created in the wake of the Sept., 11 terrorist attacks. 

The TSA has become the subject of public disdain in recent years due to extensive, privacy-invading searches of airline travelers. 

What do you think? Does the TSA keep us safe or do their searches go too far?

All it takes for you the media to give ideas for terrorist to sneak something that could hurt us. So far we have be en lucky. I know at times people think that the TSA are going too far but would rather see dead bodies.

The whole National Security mess is a scam! Just another way the smart companies are raking in billions on the "fear factor". We have one major "terror" attack and all of a sudden everyone is out to get us. If the so called "terrorist" wanted to get to us they would of done it by now, and there are many better ways than using planes to hurt people. What we have here is a boggie man that has turned into gold for some companies and these companies have strong political ties.
Oh, by the way you might want to check the countries who are making a bundle here.
Israel is one of them.

The rule of thumb....whatever the problem is, look behind the curtain and you will find out who might be the ones actually behind it in the first place.
It's like a fireman setting fires to keep the guys working. I honestly feel Israel had something to do wih 911, one thing is for sure they definitely knew about it beforehand. With friends like these who needs enemies. I look at it this way with enemies like these who needs them as friends.
