You see my main issue is who is setting the tone for TSA to work? You see, in some places people that have a certain job must follow certain guidelines or laws in order not to violet anyone's right. If they cut through your bag and nothing happened then you have to cough up the money? It's as if who is there watching them cut it up and making the decision on cutting? My sister had her bag opened up by being cut up and she had the special TSA locks. Isn't that ridiculous?

We go out of our way to purchse TSA locks--which it should also be noted who is keeping track of such keys and are they falling in the wrong hands?--and they will, at times, overlook the fact that you have obliged by the law and cut through your back. That is ridiculous. Do you see where I am getting at?

My concerns:

1. Who is making sure that they will not abuse their power? You see, we have seen cases of police brutality and we have an idea of what they can and cannot get away with, but it seems that no one has brought suite against TSA or any of its workers as of yet.

2. The locks that they make use purchase so that if they have to check the bag they can open it. Who keeps track of the keys? How do you know someone is not making copies of it or stealing it? Who is making sure that the bags are being protected?

3. The attitude and the way they carry themselves at times. I don't think they have any authority other than to request to search your bags while you are present. From then on, you can show them whatever they ask but they have no right, in my opinion, to search throuhg all of your things and negligently damage it.
