The intel agencies let foreigners in, supposedly let them learn how to fly passenger airliners with pinpoint accuracy - and now radiates regular Americans to make up for their black op.
If TSA checks can't offer real security they could at least offer a secondary service, say free prostate exams? Only a little more invasive than Asok's pat-down! ;-)
What they really need to do is have the European system, which is where the security procedures are outside the airport , so that if a bomb is set off during security checks, no planes or many people are hurt.
