No offense but what you said was grossly insulting to the good people who do work at the TSA. There are bad characters in ANY organisation. I fail to see why the TSA would be magically exempt.

I agree with this statement: any organization in this position is vulnerable to attack.
However, it should be noted--as was the grandparent comment's intent, I believe--that the TSA, rather than providing additional security, appears to be introducing an additional vulnerability.
Anybody who is willing to grope, harass, and intimidate innocent people (part of the job description) is a bad person!!! Good people (i.e. those who are not morally bereft), would never work for the TSA!!!
How is the entire concept flawed just because of a small percentage of employees ? Because that would also mean that every industry that involves someone in a position of power is also flawed.
You will never be able to stop these things from happening. You can just contain and minimize the risk.
Because when you're guarding against events that are literally one in a billion, it defeats the whole purpose if your setup allows corrupt employees to sneak contraband through screening.
