Personally, I feel the TSA has done absolutely nothing to stop terrorists, compared to pre-9/11 airport security. You aren't going to stop real terrorists with a couple of x-ray machines and wands. Their new procedures are stupid and just waste millions of travelers' time. They should either use newer and better technology, simply ban carry-ons altogether, or do what Israel does and question people & watch for suspicious behavior instead of scanning them for possible weapons.
Personally, if I was a terrorist, I'd much rather target large train stations with biological or chemical weapons. Like, go to Grand Central Terminal, NYC or Montgomery St BART/MUNI station, San Francisco or State Station, Chicago, and leave a bomb somewhere that will go off shortly before rush hour. Carrying something very lethal like VX or anthrax. THAT, in my opinion, is a much greater threat than some terrorist trying to hijack a plane. And MUCH harder to protect against. Yet the government spends less money on protecting mass transit train systems than airports, and they STILL don't get the latter right.
