No, the question is whether you want to bet the whole ball of wax on them
being able to do so.


No. "yet another line of defense".

A number of security experts have pointed out that the TSA as currently
set up is not good for much of anything except security theater.  There may
indeed be a place for an organization charged with actually improving
transportation
safety, but the TSA isn't it, and if there *were* an organization, it
wouldn't
be "such as the TSA" - it would have to be an actual competent agency
charged
with actually improving security, which is an entirely different beast.


I agree, it would be nice for government agencies to be competent. :)

Cheers,
