Comment on Trump revokes collective bargaining rights at TSA to crush union

Except the TSA has never shown to be remotely effective at doing any of that.

So, we’d all be OK if these 6,000+ loaded firearms PER YEAR were allowed to pass through unchecked?

There’s always room for improvement, but the idea that everything needs to be abolished, rather than improved, seems crazy.

Considering the TSA frequently fails up to up to 95% of tests, I’m going to guess the number of uneventful loaded firearms on planes is much higher.

  🫢 Like I said, room for improvement.
  
  But context matters:
  
  However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that airport security misses 95 percent of threats that pass through: The TSA red team is specially trained to detect weaknesses in security at airports throughout the nation.
  
  So your run of the mill bad guy isn’t going to sneak by so easily. And one can only imagine that most bad guys aren’t some elite team of security experts… Unless they are in a Hollywood movie.
