This Is A TERRIBLE Idea….
The last people that need to have guns or arrest powers are the people that work for the TSA at those check points. They are definitely NOT the good guys. In fact, supporting the idea that the people making breast cancer patients remove their prosthetic breasts, frisking geriatric nuns, making disabled vets climb out of their wheelchairs, and hassling toddlers having guns and the ability to take away your freedom and ruin your life is a level of cognitive dissonance that is usually treated with sedatives.
These are the last people that need to have arrest powers and guns. In fact, I would support giving guns to the Syrians before giving them to the TSA.
The people that choose to be employed by an agency that refuse as a matter of law to “profile” for terrorists don’t need guns and arrest powers. The last people that need to have arrest powers and guns are the people that can’t seem to be honest.
