meanwhile, the only people who have actually stopped an airline terror incident have been the passengers... the very people who are first disarmed then humiliated and degraded by the government.

I'd rather have the airlines handle security exclusively, for two reasons:

one, they have far, far more to lose if there's an actual incident, and therefore more incentive to make sure it doesn't happen, whereas the gov't has the perverse incentive to let something happen - if not actually to cause it themselves - so they can dehumanize us further;

and two, if they step out of line they can successfully be sued to hell and back.

DHS was a horrible idea and the department needs to be eliminated, with only essential functions spun (back) off into separate agencies or being consolidated under other departments. We don't have a "homeland". We have a nation. Homelands are something animals, not people, have.
