"Everything TSA does is reactionary - first they ban the box cutters, then of course you have to take your shoes off, then you have to take the liquids out, now we have to be patted down in our private areas because of the diaper bomber"
- John Mica
About this Quote
John Mica's quote is a criticism of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). He is suggesting that the TSA is not proactive in its security procedures, but rather is constantly playing catch-up with the most recent threats. He points out that after the 9/11 attacks, the TSA banned box cutters, then needed guests to take off their shoes, and after that to get rid of liquids from their carry-on bags. Now, due to the attempted diaper bomber, travelers should be patted down in their personal areas. Mica's quote implies that the TSA is not doing enough to stay ahead of potential threats, and is instead just reacting to the current incident. He is suggesting that the TSA should be more proactive in its security measures, instead of continuously playing catch-up.
