Abolish the TSA, and use its monstrous budget to fund more sophisticated, less intrusive counter-terrorism intelligence.
The Transportation Security Administration has been one of the largest, most expensive and most visible blunders of the post-9-11 homeland security reformation.

The TSA does nothing that a locked cockpit door and an armed Federal Marshal cannot. It is security theater.
