Well maybe if we looked at h ow many terrorist attacks the TSA has actually stopped, maybe their existence will be justified.
So how many terrorist attacks have they stopped? Surely by now, after hundreds of millions of searches, hundreds of thousands of confiscated fingernail clippers and bottles of suntan lotion, and billions of dollars spent, it is at least in the hundreds, right?

I can't think of a thing the TSA is doing that would have stopped the 9/11 hijackers, especially considering the anecdote linked in the original post. So what the hell is the point?
Lock the cockpit door. Everyone casually walks by some dogs trained to detect the molecules of explosives. That's it. That would have stopped any hijacking I can think of that has actually happened.

QUOTE Actually, there have been many more arrests of Federal air marshals than that story reported, quite a few for felony offenses. In fact, more air marshals have been arrested than the number of people arrested by air marshals.
We now have approximately 4,000 in the Federal Air Marshals Service, yet they have made an average of just 4.2 arrests a year since 2001. This comes out to an average of about one arrest a year per 1,000 employees.
Now, let me make that clear. Their thousands of employees are not making one arrest per year each. They are averaging slightly over four arrests each year by the entire agency. In other words, we are spending approximately $200 million per arrest. Let me repeat that: we are spending approximately $200 million per arrest.

If we all received mandatory firearms & unarmed combat training in grade school, this would be a moot point.
