Travelers think the TSA is doing a “terrible” job, according to a new survey of this site’s readers.
Asked to rate the agency on how it keeps travelers informed, handles complaints, explains its policies and is prepared, a majority of travelers gave TSA a failing grade. Only in one category — protecting travelers — did a majority of respondents say the government had done a “fair” job.
In some categories, the “terrible” votes outnumbered the other responses by more than 2 to 1. Those included “keeping us informed,” “handling complaints” and “explaining its policies.”
There were 472 respondents to the poll.
The results probably won’t come as a surprise to anyone who flies. And given the agency’s decision to begin imposing tougher screening requirements for those who resist its new full-body scanners, it’s difficult to imagine the scores getting any better in the near future.

To be fair, I'm not aware of any nation that can protect travelers without creating inconveniences for them. Unless the TSA is violating the civil rights of travelers, we should accept these difficulties as a small price to pay for our safety.
