The TSA.

As you may know there has been some debate on what the TSA can and can't do.  For those who don't know, the TSA is the agency that does airport security before and after you take an airplane.  What the people argue about is how the TSA should go about searching each and everyone of the passengers.  People complain that they "profile" some people and let others go.  This leads to people getting angry because someone might look like a "terrorist" and they receive tighter security then others.  Americans do want that sense of security when it comes to flying because of the events of September 11th but then they complain about the long lines and hours spent through Customs and other security checkpoints.  In my opinion I think the TSA agents should profile but also treat everyone as equally as possible.  If someone sets the alarm off on the metal detector more then once or twice then I think they should be searched, no questions asked.  But on the other hand if someone looks "American" they shouldn't just have a free pass to go through they should be searched but not as thorough as say someone who sets the metal detector off a few times.
