FBI Counter-Terror Agent: TSA's Incompetence "Frightens Me" - Lowering the Bar

In a post last month (cited last week by Boing Boing), Steve Moore explains the utter pointlessness and incompetence of the TSA. What does he know about it? Well, he was an FBI agent for many years, ran the L.A. branch of the Joint Terrorism Task Force, investigated terror plots overseas, and is trained in airline security procedures up to and including how to safely shoot somebody on an airplane. (Well, safely for everybody else.) He's been paying a lot of attention to the TSA over the years and his conclusion is that the "TSA is one of the worst-run, ineffective and most unnecessarily intrusive agencies in the United States government.... Frankly, the professional experience I have had with TSA has frightened me."
