Why Airport Security Is So Bad In The U.S.
Vložit

- There once was a time when getting through airport security was quick and easy. But after the attacks on 9/11, the TSA, or Transportation Security Administration, was created and security screenings became much more thorough. With millions of people passing through TSA checkpoints everyday, this can create excruciating long lines, especially during holiday travel. Despite enhancements in technology like millimeter wave imaging and CT scanners, the airport security process has been slow to evolve.
But that may soon be changing. Delta, JetBlue, and American Airlines are just a few of the U.S. airlines starting to test facial recognition for boarding and TSA checkpoints. The TSA is also working with companies on designing better screeners so passengers don’t have to remove anything from bags and can leave their shoes on. CNBC explores how far we’ve come in airport security and the ways the TSA and airlines are looking to speed up and make airport security even safer.

Why Airport Security Is So Slow And How The TSA And Airlines Are Trying To Fix It
The two biggest issues I see are 1. Never enough security Lanes are open it's usually less than 50%. 2. Passengers are never ready, too much faffing around with their belongings holding those behind them up.
Most recently and I am talking like 2 months ago my family & I decided to get the TSA Pre check. The reason behind it was because of covid still. We figure the line would be shorter. Then also less things you have to touch too (security bins mostly those RARELY NEVER get cleaned). I don't know when I will travel again by plane. However,looking forward to using it.
There needs to be an old people and babies line
There aren't enough lanes because of staffing shortage.. There's a staffing shortage because of lack of adequate pay. There's a lack a pay because of failure of Congress to move TSA into the GS scale. ........ So On and so forth....
They talk about TSA like it’s some prestigious system, yet American airports/airlines are largely underpaid and understaffed. I’m shocked every time I travel to the US. It’s like visiting a very sad Wendy’s that’s about to file for bankruptcy
@@priceandpride if grandpa wears fip-flops he'd be the fastest one threw with his polyester buttons and lack of electronics, those old guys would just have to take off their belt and dump their change take these through as fast as the security checkpoint in courthouses... yes I'm wrong because I'm relying on stereotypes... the same can be said for you.
I hate passing through TSA. Just because I am diabetic type 1 they pretty much triple check everything. Either by scan or hand touch, taking everything out of my bags. Saying too me “its suspicious that you are carrying all these medical supplies for one trip” or “we need to throw out the juices and insulin, its too much liquid”. Even as a child I was taking to a backroom to interrogate me and to take my cloth of because they did not believed me or my parents, they though I was carrying something ilegal because my insulin pump made the alarm of the scan go off. Last time they stop me for 2rhs, everyone was passing without double checking while I was their waiting for them to examine my bags, taking out every single medical item from its box, opening them and taking swaps like it was a crime scene. Even telling them before “hey I am diabetic and I have medical supply” or showing the medical note, they ignore me. Meanwhile in Europe, I never had a problem. I love flying but I hate the TSA since I was a child. Being a child and feeling the hands of a stranger touching every part of your body just because the insulin pump activate the alarm. Not touching you once, twice or more.
sorry for having to go through that whole ordeal just because of your condition, sounds like an insane experience. this has tremendously discouraged me from ever wanting to visit the US, thank you.
Get tsa precheck. They’ll chill out
And millions of illegal migrants may enter the country w/no screening.
Has anyone outside the US had to take the shoes off at an airport security? In Europe we don’t
EDIT: thank you for all the responses. I just want to clarify one thing: when I wrote “In Europe we don’t” I mean that we are not expected to take our shoes off unless been explicitly told to by security (for reasons x, y and z). That was the root of my question
The US are overdoing it, their patdowns are basically a sexual assault, while in Europe they check that you aren‘t bringing something big like a gun.
In America, pay 85 dollars (called TSA PreCheck) and you get to keep your shoes on for 5 years.
@@alooga555 not every airport support tsa precheck and global entry
We don’t in Japan
Actually just came back from Canada and airport screening is the same as the USA.
laughable. fixing a problem they themselves created by the formation of TSA
follow the money.
It ridiculous….if only all they anti vaxxers had issues with the tsa!
If I were a terrorist I would attack the waiting line. I am assuming the solution for that is to have a screening line for the screening line.
Comment of the YEAR
TSA= thousands standing around
When they ask a 70-year-old grandma traveling with her grandkids to step aside for frisking, that slows down the security line for sure.
Somebody's entitled butt is hurt...
@@MarkKilmer89 security theater
Older people have been known mules for smugglers. Don’t be fooled by anyone’s age.
70 year old grandma's shouldn't have been screened? Terrorist organizations are known to use vehicles that don't fit the profile of standard terrorists.
They had me test a Wii u to see if it was a bomb once... Holding up the line... And yet they let shoe bombers pass gg TSA
The idea that terrorists would be trying to sneak weapons through customer security checks at airports at this point is laughable. I'm guessing some creative movie writers could think of over 100 ways a person or group determined to cause terror will figure out another way. The guy towards the end even admitted it could happen.
Even now, I can bring things like lighters, matches, pencils, pens, crochet tools, shaving razors, rope, food, glass plates, and as many small bottles of liquid that I want and they're worried about things like a can of soda so they can then charge us $5. I can also put nearly anything in a checked bag which they rarely check (except for things like ski & snowboard gear for some reason). In first class they even give you a steak knife and glassware but I can't have a nail-clipper?
It's really all about money and less about safety. This charade of the fear theater is such an obvious scam.
Government officials do not operate with common sense. When southern border is wide open for millions of people of unknown origin there seems to be no wisdom in TSA check-ins.
TSA 95% failure rate.
Just make it a policy not to open the cockpit under any situation.
Don't they already have a policy like that? I believe passengers are far more likely to attack a terrorist or hijacker these days.
@@agisler87 Yuuup, I was more talking in hindsight since that is why 9/11 attackers got into the cockpit like you said, before that it was all hijacking and no company at the time wanted to be known as the one that lets all its passangers be killed.
That's a dubious statistic. What are you get your information?
@@sassoscrib Video itself but feel free to Google
That rate is true, but the attempts or successful terrorist attacks on a flight originating in the US is still zero.
Yeah, most of the TSA is security theatre.
And I'm not giving the US government or airlines my bio-metrics if I can prevent it unless they adopt privacy laws similar to the EU.
Security theater? Look at Adam ruins everything: tsa
It’s on CZcams lol
If you live in the US, they already have your biometric data through facial recognition. Also many people have been fingerprinted which is another biometric data point.
If its security theater then why don’t you bring a gun or a bomb in there to prove TSA doesnt work? All talk no action.
It's amazing how creating fear is so profitable
creating? stop acting like the threat isn't real
@@Queen-dl5ju Acting like it is exaggerated =/= acting like it isn't real.
Creating fear? So you're OK with having realistic threats at airports? What would you rather have? Just a free airport where anyone can bring anything on an airplane?
@@Queen-dl5ju It's literally exaggerated, back in the 80s and 90s we literally never had an issue at all and it barely existed.
@@kydop6128 You could do that in the 80s and 90s when my family was in their prime, nothing happened at all.
Even the largest airports in Europe are smooth as Butter. They mostly use metal detectors and there are like 5-10 open lanes. They have automated belts that move carry on luggage and automatically recycle the bins.. the TSA in the usa takes 1000s of passengers and forces them into a single back scatter [because those machines are expensive] lane for all departures within the terminal. Taking liquids out only helped the vendors charge $6 for a water. So in a nutshell it's like a supermarket with only one register open for the entire store. While Europe has 10 registers open and more streamlined processing
Well if I was a terrorist, I would just have a clean record and qualify for the pre-check and then attack. See how stupid this security theater is?
Nope, they already know your browser history.
Well maybe but I think you might have criminal record and doing it to say screw you to whatever made you mad one last time so your line of logic doesn’t hold
By you I mean someone
What if that criminal is covid 🤔🤔 definitely makes the TSA even less of use
@@taichiperfect What he is saying to keep what they know they can find out squeaky clean - there are way s of working around the browser collection habits, you know.
10:50 I _love_ when private companies have exclusive rights to sell/profit from technology developed with taxpayer dollars
Yeah, but like who else is gonna buy that stuff?
The same government that funded it.
As someone who works in public research, the companies partially fund the research (if not all in some cases where they want access to more advanced government equipment) and in exchange the government and companies negotiate prices and patents. The government gets discounts to using the equipment the company will then produce, the company recoups their investment plus profit. The government actually “profits” off the arrangement because of the savings in their negotiated price. Doesn’t mean the company won’t, at a later date, lower the cost of the equipment for others as prices for the inputs change or someone else gets a better negotiated price. Additionally, the company might be awarded the patent, but the government does have the right to use their patented tech, process, et c. free of charge (not only because the government helped invent whatever is patented, but also because the patent is held in the US). The government also has the right to strip patents or redistribute them.
I mean somebody has to develop the final goods. Setting up a government run factory would be a terrible idea. So they license the rights to a private company which do have the rights to make a profit.
Like Fau-ci's patents on mRNA?
@@harshilpatel9643 the government funds almost all prescription drugs (specially at early stages) and yet pharmaceutical companies get the patents and the profits and on top of that they can charge whatever they want bc the same government which funded those medications cannot use it buying power to reduce prices like a large company does, example Amazon and Walmart. You're welcome.
It is unhygenic to place footwear such as shoes in the same tray as other items since the dirt underfoot can reach fingers and to human body, causing infections. Atleast use exclusive trays for footwear.
I agree, it's gross.
Believe me, reinforcing cockpit doors was a decisive countermeasure against hijackings, creating TSA wasn't.
TSA hires the unemployable and gives them an undeserved badge-they are not sworn law enforcement officers. These substandard security guards would never get past the first stage of a law enforcement application. 🙊
Fix the rail roads and introduce fast trains. Oh wait, this is America.
Would cost trillions
Yeah, because a train between Pittsburgh and Phoenix will have so many riders.
A lot of major routes in the US domestic aviation market are out of the range where a train is more efficient time wise.
Last time we had a train travel faster it detailed… and the time before.. and before… and before.. and before… oh and the pipeline was shut down to increase revenue into the railways and the infrastructure and safety is still 1950’s… and that’s a recipe for disaster like the entire “Democrat” (socialist/communist) agenda.
@@declannewton2556 A lot major plane route in the US are very much within train distance.
Beijing to Hong Kong train is 2500km and works great.
4 of the top 5 busiest airports in the US are atlanta chicago dallas denver. Each airport is with in 2500km to another.
@@blueridgegarage Yawn... Don't you ever get tired of blaming everything on the boogeyman (aka your more liberal neighbors)? I know I'm tired of hearing all the hate and rage filled finger pointing.
Here's a thought... Why doesn't the right wing in America try coming up with some tangible solutions/ideas for once. Wouldn't that be more productive, and wouldn't that help you prove your point (assuming any of you guys have an actual point/purpose) rather than just foaming at the mouth and playing the victim all the time?
The mindless vitriol is getting so, so, so tiresome. I can only imagine how exhausted you all must be, pretending every last thing a Democrat actually does is the death knell of our country. It's been going on literally for decades at this point, and it's pretty obvious your side doesn't have any solutions. Just lots and lots of things to be mad about.
/Fin
I dont understand how buying a TSA package makes things safer. It sounds like a money making scheme and is a potential open-door for criminals. Self ID and facial recognition makes sense.
@Yoo Toob who is "they" you elect the people that allocate specific findings.
@Yoo Toob yes they do, but it's mandatory for their job. especially
@Yoo Toob I think that's an inevitability in a quasi democracy the size of ours.
As usual american made products trying to scam old people 🙄
Yeah, don't our tax dollars already pay for this? Why am I paying again? FRAUD
I got TSA Precheck when I was traveling for work a few years ago. I don't travel any more than a couple times a year post pandemic but I will never get rid of my Precheck. It is so worth it for my sanity.
What were the odds of dying from terrorist attack on the plane even before TSA, something like odds of dying from lightning strike?
Yesss, ban the TSA and just hope for the best you are not gonna be on a hijacked plane.
@@posgaming5143 Aircraft security is far better now. Pilot doors are locked and prior to 911 hijackings were about diverting the plane. Passengers are far more likely to attack a hijacker.
Also any bombs or weapons can be found in the shops that are part security. TSA is security theater.
Trick Question: They weren't called Terrorists before 9/11
@@agisler87 Andrew, you silly boy......
@@agisler87 Can you explain your logic of making bombs with items you can buy after from shops after getting through security???
It’s slow because the airports are understaffed. Not enough lanes are open to deal with the rising traveling number. The government does not want to increase wages for TSA employees. The pandemic is also a factor in the shortage of staff.
Waited 2 hours in security in Orlando at 5AM last month. People around me were missing their flights and cursing nonstop
Pre 911
Airport screener: is that a bomb? Ok, get on the plane
Airport screener: you have a weapon? Ok get on the plane
- Robin Williams live on Broadway
Pity no one realized that the target of terrorists was never the plane, it's the crowd. Safety screening only moves their target from a fully packed plane to the long line waiting for screening.
I always feel that the TSA queue is everyone lining up to be gunned down
No russian lol
yeah but a shooter wouldnt shoot people at an airport because theres many cops, and a bomber terrorist wouldnt target TSA lines because he wants way more fatalities than a few dozen getting scanned. Terrorists probably wont target airports ever again because its too risky
@@user-vp9lc9up6v lol
TSA has NEVER thwarted any attack. Its a facade.
how do u know that?
We don’t know lol. It prevents people from trying in the first place and if they do we as normal citizens likely don’t hear about it.
@@KillenEMsoftly How do you know if they had prevented any attack?
@@KillenEMsoftlyBecause the TSA would certainly brag about it ad nauseam
Great video watched it beginning to end !
No you didn’t. The video is 14 minutes and you commented this 3 minutes after it was uploaded lol
@@Kerpaltheballer I think they were being sarcastic
Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TSA-TWIC) gives you TSA Pre Check as well.
Not sure about the rest of US, but the only airport I can use to get out, Honolulu International Airport is so disorganized. There are no signs pointing you where to line up and lines can go outside the building. I once was there and I was standing in the wrong line for about 10 minutes. I already printed my ticket online I just needed to check in my luggage, I was standing in the regular line and not the online check in line, even the TSA line was disorganized. I went to Japan in 2018, everything was very organized, I had no problems finding my way, signs had English in them, I was able to get my luggage, got a rail card from kiosk machine, and put 10,000 Yen ( about $100 USD, which can be used as payment in train stations, convenience stores, and airport, and non JR trains and buses, which is super convenient), my JR rail pass (which I used to ride the bullet train and JR commuter trains), got on to a JR express train to Shin-Osaka. It was super easy.
So you've never traveled to any other part of the US besides Hawaii?
Yeah, Japan is so much better, it’s the highest level of society. I hate coming back to America. Everything is dysfunctional and our government sucks
Biometric is not the issue but how securely the data is managed or stored. Regardless, there is risk involved as there is no to minimum penalty when data is mis-managed.
Not to mention the sticky hands at the security check point. The last time we traveled, I was watching my carry on through the X-ray. I was wonder who my carry on came out in the same bin with someone else shoes. Turned out they pulled mine aside to open it and put it back. They usually do it at a visible spot but that check wasn’t.
Oh Boy!!! Facial Recognition!!! Yeah, now you can be denied boarding a flight you paid for if the government deems you a flight risk last minute, knows everywhere you are going, AND...MOST Important...Deny you if the Machine Breaks.
Just give me the damn boarding pass. I show up early and the lines are never THAT bad. People just try to get there last minute and expect to get to the gate right away.
They think it's like a bus station or something lol
I only wish you could have mentioned the sexual assault scandals, like those agents touching minors and those who plotted to touch males, for example.
And how scanners can store and export body scans, there was a report that they stored 35000 images back in 2010.
That'd be a great video.
@Yummy Spaghetti Noodles I am so sorry to hear that. Safety should never come at the expense of people's dignity.
And you're right, there are victims, perpetrators, protests, and unfair laws and sentences that don't make it to the headlines.
There's a lot of shady things that happen all the time, people just don't care to know. A few months ago Bjorn Broms, a TSA supervisor at Minneapolis- st Paul airport, got arrested for taking pictures of "young girls" while at work. You don't have to go back years to give examples.
@@johnharrison4592 That's disturbing. Thanks for sharing.
It feels like they could make an hour long program just on this subject.
That's old tech. It doesn't work like that anymore.
Once you hit 13 you're subject to the adult policies. I assume they justify it with stuff like school shootings etc. That's the policy, and while I'm sure some pedos have worked their way into the ranks, the officers aren't the problem.
TSA PRE-CHECK ✔️ I skips the lines, I don't have to have off shoes or belt, and I don't have to take out my laptop or any electronics
Not only security is slow, they scream at you like a animal, I know the are to many people, they are stressed out, they want to move the line, but that is not my fault.
Also, as a tourist from Latin America I found the airlines staff with not much client service attitude, even that is was traveling in fist class they looks at you as garbage.
It's definitely the worst part about air travel.
What airline did you travel on
Racism..
Let's be honest the TSA is nothing more than theater
Shocking how little the „right of own personal data“ and the risks of sharing personal data with company’s and government agencies are mentioned and how they misused that 😕
I travelled from San Francisco to Palm Springs the beginning of November. The airports were packed. The Security was so fast and efficient and got thousands of people cleared in remarkable time. The same was true at both San Francisco and Palm Springs.
Same with LAX. Have never waited more than 10-15 minutes though TSA, even though the airports are mobbed (during and pre pandemic). Only bad one was at Newark Liberty had to wait about 45 minutes, but that was peak summer travel in 2018.
SFO is one of the leading airports, have you been to Denver, LA, Chicago, or JFK lately? Oi vey!
It’s time to stop taking our shoes off. Richard Reid’s “shoe bomb” didn’t even work and it couldn’t have downed the plane if it had. And yet, 20 years later, we are still taking our shoes off.
An excellent demonstration of how putting such regulations in place rarely end up being temporary.
Nothing is as permanent as a temporary solution
I thought the body scan could even see through the shoes as well. Seems kinda pointless if that is true
The point of the bomb failing just does not hold
It’s called tsa precheck.
Is it just me or some of those technologies mentioned are already employed at Schengen border for years? Like those automated biometric passport checks/ e- gates.
Alot of the tech is implemented already in other organizations. It's a budget issue as to whether or not it reaches airports fast enough to speed up the process.
@Aaron Hicks not disputing it. Its just its been surprising. I expected some high tech and new technological solutions when most of the stuff in the vid sounded and looked like when I go through Spanish customs just without the need to pay some special border checks membership fee.
Security theatre that we have the privilege of paying for several times over. TSA returns very little value for the cost and hassle they create. Given the state of privacy laws in this country and TSA's demonstrated pattern of prejudice and profiling, I have less than zero interest in providing them any more biometric data than is absolutely necessary (which at this point, is none). Shiny new technology doesn't fix the problems of this agency, it just ups the costs to us.
Ever applied for a gun permit?
Ever had a job that required security clearance?
Ever been arrested?
All these require finger prints. The government already has them. Just saying.
I got TSA pre-check on my 3rd flight for the USAR, didn’t have to pay a dime for it. Assuming it will run out once I’m out.
the TSA spokesperson wearing a mask in a zoom call is a the perfect metaphor for how bad the tsa is at their job lmao
Or you know, cause they work in a federal regulated airport where is required by law to have a mask on
TSA Precheck sounds great, but as of today, I still don't understand why the hell you have to PAID to join it and why it only last for 5 years but not lifetime. In my opinion, having a fingerprint as a biometric check should be a bare minimum in 21st century.
It's the background check that requires a time limit and the expense. If a person has pre-check and then does something that would disqualify them from having pre-check, the next background check will catch it and prevent them from having precheck. I do not know what qualifies as a disqualifying incident but I would assume felony convictions and the like are on that list.
Precheck like 80$ for 5 years what are you poor or something 😂
Given the cost of air travel $78 for 5 years is nothing 😂
Flew back from Miami on Monday. TSA Precheck is lightspeed
It's slow and not effective at keeping contraband out what a great combo!
It’s to keep high explosives out. Educate yourself.
I use the up in the air philosophy and it works sometime
I don’t understand why they are yelling at people for no reason
Step 1, disband the TSA.
Get TSA Pre, it’s faster and you don’t have to take off your shoes.
4:40 loose change amounted to $900,000?? wow~ 😳🤯
Terrorists are watching this and cheering they've won.
They fundamentally changed us by living in fear giving up more and more privacy . They accomplished thier goal . That is the goal of terrorism.
TSA in the US is security theater. They have never accomplished anything.
feel free to post a link of all the successful terrorist attacks originating on US flights since the implementation of tsa. Oh wait, you're only going to find the ones that were flights out of Europe. All of the countries with less strict security
@@tnr2217 Your mama has less strict security.
@@chipmunktubetop bbbbBurn lmao
It's still just security theater. Real threats aren't detected at local airports in the security lines but at the ports and via intelligence gathering.
Total Recall type screening is needed
I've tested TSA. I put a coin in my mouth and no TSA agent has ever made me open my mouth (I always opt-out of the scanners). I've put coins in my socks and never gotten them checked. The coins could have been a small knife.
@Yummy Spaghetti Noodles I've gotten razor blades through my check in bag
The TSA isn't there for security. It's population control, and security contracting. Why do you think they hire the most useless people?
@Yummy Spaghetti Noodles doubtful
That's super gross .. do you know how disgustingly dirty coins are?
There's actual poop on a significant percentage of all currency in circulation. So, you're basically eating other people's poo just to... I don't even know what the point is. To stick it to the man, I suppose?
You really showed them, lol!!
@@Mr.J2U perhaps he cleaned the coins with rubbing alcohol, soap and water
I hope they have one day a large screening wherre just walk through wothout having to take off shoes and xray thr carry on.
If you are used to American airports, then you would be shocked at how quick it can be at airports here in Sweden - at least for domestic flights.
I often fly from Luleå airport in northeastern Sweden, which is a very small airport where everything is very close to the main entrance, and I can seriously often get from the main entrance all the way to the gates in just 5 minutes if there aren't too long lines there;
sometimes I am lucky enough to have no lines at all, and in those situations I literally just go and ask for my ticket, walk up some short stairs, have my hand baggage scanned while I walk through a metal detector, and MAYBE get some very brief hand swab test on rare occasions, and that's it.
It is incredibly quick and easy.
Even Arlanda airport can sometimes be this quick, although that place is of course a lot bigger, and tends to be more crowded.
Because they want to charge you more for an express lane.
To be honest the US overdose it a bit.
In Germany I usually spend 5 minutes going through security.
The trick is to know at what part of the airport the line moves the fastest.
There is no part, they send all passengers to one queue per terminal. You are doomed
That is an understatement.
Watching this on my flight after almost fighting a airport worker 😂
LOL
2:46 wow mace and knives. Must be really sharp knives
Do resterant workers at restaurants in a terminal have to get screened every day before work?
Everyone airside must be screen, employees included. Although some larger airports have dedicated security checkpoints/lines for employee use to minimize time lost waiting in line.
The TSA is security theater and an absolute waste
He said "drugs". Why are the TSA screening for drugs? Sounds like a criminal search without cause.
I’ve never had much of a problem. The TSA has always been pretty quick to me. I’ve heard things from others before but I’ve personally never had an issue and I’ve flown probably two dozen times since 9/11. 🤷♂️
Try Newark or O'Hare this Sunday. Good luck
@@K4R3N
Is the TSA the only thing that causes delay at those airports or is there delay because of overall congestion?
I fly about every 90 days, sometimes more often.
I have never spent more than 30 minutes in a TSA line and I don't have TSA precheck. The agents have been friendly and professional. I am slow but organized. I am a 73 year old lady and I travel alone most of the time.
Security theater... just like to point out that security didn't catch the shoe bomber.
CBP has used facial recognition since the late 1990's it's baffling that the TSA hasn't used the same technology.
Not everyone wants to be subjected to having their privacy violated.
Because, in the year of our Lord, 2021, there are still people who try to take gallon-sized shampoo bottles through security, wait until the last minute to take their shoes off, and then block the line trying to get completely dressed right in front of the scanner instead of going over to the benches.
(Yes, I realize I may be just a tad impatient. 🤣)
Its almost exclusively these people yes. People who have full comprehension of the English language that lack the ability to listen. And try and walk through with stuff in their pockets after hearing that pockets must be empty about 50 times. Some of those officers are loud af. You can't really claim you didn't hear them say not to leave x in the bag lol
@@techtutorvideos there are signs and workers calling out all the instructions to everyone, in an area to sort your things out before you go through, and there are bins to get rid of banned items, with signs saying what you can't have. Ignorance is no excuse, especially when the rules are the same everywhere in the world
Without watching the video, I can already tell you it's to make you pay for TSA precheck
In the video, they show another service as well. It seems like a profitable business.
Kinda how CZcams says "get CZcams premium so we can stop nagging you (and continue to nag someone else!)"
Highly recommend watching the Adam Ruins Everything about Airport Security.
It’s all theater…just the illusion of security.
5 guns per million people traveling in 2019. In 2020 the amount of people went straight to the floor but guns more than doubled to 11 per million. With nearly 6k found by September of 2021 alone.
They are not paid for efficiency, they are paid to do a task!
What about the health effects of passing new and varying amounts of radiation through our bodies every time we travel?
The only radiation in the screening process is the machine you put your items in. Unless you are riding the belt through that machine you aren't going in anything that has radiation.
You're not going to get radiation unless you go on the conveyer and inside the machine
I rather wait longer, and be safe. 🇺🇸
Yeah a private company with biometric data is oh so much better.
It is better. A private company only wants to make money off me and my data. Government on the other hand has the power to throw me in jail.
So yes, I will take the private company any day.
good luck with that one with a private company comes with lower wages and longer lines due to employees refusing to do this job with low pay they already struggle keep employees as is even though its government imagine a privite company
TL;DR “security theater” because “It’s not our job.” So what’s the point?
Always happy to be the randomly selected guy…😍
the report didn't mention the struggle that handicap people go through nor TSA stealing electronics and goods from travelers
Nice 1990’s SWA 737-200 taking off! Old school stock video! Lol
*Security Theater* i heard this term from some other video on how TSA is not effective and is there to give passengers the illusion of safety
I don't think this is a problem like people act like it is.
Don't use Clear. It's not open 24 hours a day and is inconvenient.
I wonder how many vibrators a TSA agent sees in a day...
Sooo what if everyone paid the $85? What then?
Then everyone would go through that, and it really wouldn't be that different.
How does the facial recognition/biometrics tech fare with people who are... outside the norm? I read somewhere about a tech that discriminated against non-Caucasians because it was tested on Caucasians mostly, and that makes me wonder, how would it fare with someone who is e.g. obese, or blind, or scarred, or otherwise disabled (e.g. too short to face the scanner properly or in a wheelchair)?
See, this technology is stupid because people still have to get their tickets checked
TSA like USPS and DMV are run poorly. Need to get rid of the all the dead weight employees and train better
The airport security theater industrial complex continues...
There is a price for better security. But after 20 years with the TSA, there must be better technology and/or techniques to avoid taking so many things out of your carry on. I travel with with DSLR, iPad, and laptop, plus the accessories for these devices. I have to remove all these items, plus belt, cell phone, and shoes during the TSA check. It’s a clumsy race to remove these items and put these things back all without misplacing your wallet and other items. After the race, my carryon still usually gets additional screening and swabs without much explanation. I disagree that we should pay extra for “faster” pre check screening. It’s either screening can be fast and efficient or not. There are plenty of taxes on airline tickets already to cover these things. Plus whatever cell phone, local, and federal taxes collected for these agencies that run the airports.
It sucks that we have to pay but tsa precheck is worth it imo. I don’t have to take your shoes off and my laptop stays in my bag when I go through
I'm under 18 and tsa didn't even look at my passport
Background noise seems to have leaked into your recording room. It's like a nearby room was playing loud tuneless music with doors open.
As history has taught us, my sealed blue gatorade was such a major concern, it became a tasty beverage after they thought I'd left
It gets thrown away: not used
Erm, whose award it was, for the TSA account?
Did TSA award themselves?
All a bunch of security theaters.
8:10 "It says photos will not be saved".
I'm also richer than Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates combined.
Private sector special interests?
8:09 The tsa says "photos will not be saved" LOL! LOL! LOL! That's the biggest crock of crap!
@Sweet Toother Yup! So technically, the tsa doesn't save the photos. They are just the data vacuum for the other spy agencies that save them.
@Yummy Spaghetti Noodles I’m glad I’m not you.
Why do you need to show your ID at TSA in the US?
Imagine all the tow jams
TSA for me today in Tampa Intl was quite quick.
I've gone to Tampa a lot in the last 10 years, and security has ALWAYS been fast AND pleasant.
Why i will not visit a destination that i have to fly to.
I feel terrible for the TSA agents. They're public servants who get treated like crap and just trying to do a job. Stuck with terrible policies they can't change either.
TSA agents treat passengers like crap don’t feel sorry for them at all
@@HHHPedigrees TSA agents make $28,000 to $42,000 per year and deal with hundreds of some of the most difficult people per day. If you've ever worked customer service before, it's easy to become disgruntled.
Michael McKeever find another job then. Not an excuse to take out your anger on passengers
@@michaelmckeever2734 "Difficult people" by just sitting around?
TSA agents treat us like crap I hope they get flogged
I live in Germany and fly frequently, so glad not to be in the US, it would drive me mad. RIP to all US frequent flyers
With the way things are going in Germany, frequent flying may soon be a thing of the past! People like you will be seen as "CLIMATE KILLERS"...Public enemy!
