Comment On Airline Safety And The TSA

A short comment I posted to The Wall Street Journal article, "The TSA Is Keeping the Skies Safe" by Gabriel Schoenfeld:

Let's test the system to see if it really does work.

Hire an outside independent evaluation firm to put fake explosives on testers with a bonus if they can get past TSA. If they can get past then jettison the system we have. If they get caught, give bonuses to those employees who found the fake explosives on the evaluators. Do this regularly to keep TSA on its toes, and quickly publish the results to show the public that the system we have is either effective or ineffective.
