Bruce Schneier, an internationally known security expert, has written extensively on the enormous fraud that is the TSA. He makes a very convincing argument that the TSA is ridiculous and absolutely unnecessary from a security standpoint. He has engaged in multiple debates with the head of the TSA, and appeared before the US Congress stating the same thing.
I believe "security theater" was mentioned in an earlier post. I think he coined this phrase.
My background is a uniformed flight crew member with a large US-based international airline. I worked before, during and after 9/11 and could tell you some amazing stories. Believe me, the TSA does nothing to enhance security. They just represent one more step towards the likely inevitable police state the US appears hell bent on becoming.
Here's his blog. He writes about the TSA frequently:
