Wow dude. Wow. "Don't fly". They have a monopoly unless you can afford to fly on a private jet you are forced to use their services.
The main reason to get rid of the TSA is because they suck at doing their job and like most services it can be provided at lower cost and with better results privately. That's my opinion at least. But, there has been reporting on their lack luster performance.
I'm not sure if tickets prices will go up or not actually. It might happen, I'm not sure if the TSA charges the airports for the service. If they didn't they should have. But if they didn't the tax payers paid for it, even ones that did not use the service.
Flying is a privilege. 95% of the people on the planet will never fly.
I am one who doesn’t think the TSA does a terrible job. I check in and out with no issues. One time a friend lost their ID they let them fly home by answering a few questions.
For some odd reason the right thinks deregulation is king and the free market will do things at a lower cost and better than the government. In some sectors sure but not in all. The profit motive falls apart in certain sectors of the economy and then you get corruption/collusion and other plots and schemes that were created by the free market just to increase profits.

I understand where you are coming from with that. My experience with TSA is very different as it is with others. Glad you have had good luck.
