Airline Security a Waste of Cash

An insider from the government's Secure Flight Working Group on Privacy and Security details a Transportation Security Administration program that has been "a complete failure, resulting in exactly zero terrorists caught" and wasting millionsof dollars in the process.

"Exactly two things have made airline travel safer since 9/11: reinforcement of cockpit doors, and passengers who now know that they may have to fight back. Everything else -- Secure Flight and Trusted Traveler included -- is security theater."
