Concerning TSA

The LAT editorializes today on TSA, arguing for more tests and better screening. The O.C. Register argued the other day that TSA was so ineffective that it ought to be disbanded. Which is right?

If another 9/11 should happen, there would be hell to pay if the government had not at least tried to improve airport security. Therefore, something like TSA is necessary even if ineffective because it makes it appear that the government is trying to do something. With better people, better training and better management, TSA could be effective, but that isn't likely.
