Some security is needed, what we created is itself a caricature of good security. We waste finite resources trying to watch everyone, when instead we should look for actual terrorists and their connections like the Israeli model. This had the multiple effects of hassling the innocent, missing big internal targets, and costing much more than it should while adding more power to the public unions. That a lot to trade for heightened security. I think they should write laws for security protocols and then turn it over to the states and private companies that populate the transportation centers. You dont proffesionalize when you federalize, you just make it bigger, bloated, expensive, and political.
