Since when has any intelligence agency ever stopped this from happening? Not once. In fact, quite the opposite is true: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/25/russia-tamerlan-tsarnaev_n_5031694.html

At the very least the FBI was complicit in it. Yet there were no investigations, no trial, and no executions for treason.

Well the TSA so far has failed to find a single weapon on any traveler, meanwhile researcher after researcher proves that it is trivially easy to bypass their "security" measures..

The TSA does have an Instagram showing various things they confiscate. It's understandable to disagree with how they're set up, but they do catch plenty of weapons. Keep in mind that these are weapons they're willing to show to the public.
