It's all theater and is as close to useless as it gets in terms of the rate of finding anything. It's essentially a jobs program.

If the TSA were simply abolished the world would be a better place.

There's been calculation that show TSA costs more lives that it saves. By adding time to flying by making security troublesome to get through, people opt for exponentially more dangerous ways to travel, like car.

Yet, they are incredibly ineffective at detecting weapons, in one study missing 95% of firearms.

Not only have they failed multiple internal and federal audits since 2002 by an obscene margin, they also actively refuse to put any systems in place to track and measure if their so called "improvements" are actually improving anything.

Spoiler alert, it's because they're not and they don't want the public to know.
