I wasn't where I am today in my evolution on political thought... and yet back then I knew the TSA was a mistake. I say mistake, it wasn't a mistake because politicians HAVE TO DO SOMETHING! This is the most charitable view of politicians. When there's a disaster or something goes wrong sometimes the best option is to do almost nothing. Politicians just can't seem to do that.
The dudes that hijacked those planes too box cutters on the planes which was allowed... it was not a failure of the airport security but rather their understanding of the threats they face. At the time I remember saying to people, this will never happen again. Not in this way because now people know. I mean, we know that because of the response of passengers the last plane when they found out what was going on.
The TSA is terrible on all levels. Always has been. This cannot happen soon enough...

The "Do something" could have just been more secure cockpits and sky marshals on some flights. This was insane and intensely unpopular right from the start...but then people just got used to it.

Very true. I've despised the TSA from day one. Not saying I despise the people, some of them are fine and I do have sympathy for some of them. Others are terrible. I still opt out of the body scanners. Yeah, I'm one of those guys.

I've largely just opted out of flying.

I have as well, but sometimes its the only viable option. Flying sucks these days compared to pre-9/11.
