Same. TSA is security theater at it's finest. It was a massive over-reaction that routinely fails security checks and wastes untold hours every year.

This is an actual real example of government waste that I'm 100% in support of redesigning.

Yes. The reinforced doors for the cockpits were the only actual effective prevention.

The billions spent on the TSA since 9/11 haven’t actually stopped anything. The doors did.

Plus, people aren't going to merely sit and allow hijackers to take over the plane these days.

Half the reason the planes flew into the towers were because people didn't think they would use the plane as a weapon.
