went through Lambert and the TSA was at the gate, right before we got on the plane, inspecting bags
i see no reason for this intrusion. maybe those dumbasses should have checked everything right the first time

It is a stupid waste of time, no doubt. Doing things that have no real effect but really just give the appearance of doing something....
Stoopid.
That said I'll be happy to review everyone's plans for safer air travel.

it actually made me feel less safe because the impression is that they do not, in fact, check everything when you go through security and have to bother you at the gate

Last summer when changing planes in Chicago I was physically searched, had my carry-on searched, and had to show ID again. All this without ever exiting the secured area.
No explanation was given. A few (5 or 6) other people near me were given the same treatment.

Security theater.

Not totally on point, but incidentally that's way more dangerous.

On my last flight we had our bags checked at the gate as well, but I wouldn't even call it a search - just a peek inside. They didn't even check the side pockets at all.
I'm not sure what the point is, since if you really wanted to hide something it's perfectly possible given how careless they are about it. I had lip balm in my purse which I forgot about and I've seen women somehow get full makeup bags through. I suppose if you don't mind possibly getting your stuff tossed, you risk it and have a good chance of not getting caught. For the rest of us, it's just inconvenience.
Nobody has been saved by taking people's toothpaste and lipstick away. Even if a terrorist did have a dangerous item concealed as some common household liquid, if it gets found and tossed they're still free to go on their way (since to my knowledge they don't actually test the stuff) and they'll just try again next time.

whats really funny is he complains about true obama care (the socialist kind he campaigned on) and yet he loves that he has it.
