Official narrative
This agency makes people safer by checking for bombs or dangerous items aboard planes. Their use of carcinogenic X-rays scanning has saved lived saved the concomitant decrease in terrorist attacks. Citizens should be glad that it plans to roll out such invasive checks across the travel system. The introduction of watch lists are not to prepare for a totalitarian control grid, but for passenger safety.
Problems
The procedure of the TSA (and similar agencies worldwide) are not backed up by evidence of their effectiveness at reducing terrorism. For example, the "liquid bomb plot" has never been shown to be possible[citation needed] and security expert Bruce Schneier describes the liquids ban as "security theater"[1] i.e. something which is carried out for their impact on people's minds, rather than to prevent terrorist bombs.[2]

| Ray Guagliardi | “Ray Guagliardi and Thomas Bittler worked for the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA). In 2003, while serving as training coordinators at Buffalo Niagara International Airport, they noticed numerous violations of regulations for inspecting baggage, for example, inadequate inspections following alarms. They reported their concerns to their boss, which led nowhere, so they wrote to TSA headquarters. The result: they lost their jobs two months later, officially due to a staff restructure. However, 'both men say TSA officials told them that they should never have complained. According to Bittler, one supervisor said: "If you people would just learn to shut your mouths, you would still have your jobs"” | Brian Martin Ray Guagliardi | 2007 |
