Should TSA officers be armed?
After the shooting death of a TSA officer at Los Angeles International Airport there is a strong call for armed class of TSA officers.
The mission of the Transportation Security Administration is screening screening passengers for weapons, bombs and other dangerous materials and its member don´t wear arms. Although the reaction on the fatal shooting is understandable, some experts warn against TSA arming. They reason that it wouldn´t have necessarily saved lives and that many people already see the TSA as a symbols of government overreach. Further they say it could cost billions of dollars and would require officers to undergo considerable training and if there will be a gunfight at a checkpoint in the future and civilians will be killed by friendly fire it will be a catastrophe for the TSA. Sign the petition if you want to show your opinion that this measure should not be adopted.
