Can we really trust the TSA?

Okay, I just have a question.  For anyone who has flown since 9/11, does the TSA really make you feel safer?

I ask because of the following articles………

This video to me demonstrates, IMO, the absurdity of some of the TSA’s thought process.

This story to me makes me worry about the quality of training these agents actually get.

 

Now, I realize that these are completely separate locations, but how do you get one agent taking someone’s cupcakes because of it’s frosting, while another location let’s bags get through unchecked?  Is there no consistency in their training if they are the ones charges with keeping us safe?

Just asking.

 

May the Force be with you
