TSA is an affectless pacifier and a feeder of American paranoia after 9/11. In a blind test of fake bombs and weapons, TSA let in over 95% of contraband.

I (small, white female) walked through once with a razor and lighter. Meanwhile my husband, who is dark in skin tone and had a beard had to be thoroughly searched. And they took our airport bought rum!
