I guess you didn't look hard enough and this really explains the nature of all of your posts as a TSA/CBP cheerleader.
I'm a dual US/Australian citizen. In Australia I'm welcomed home by the immigration officer. In the US, I generally deal with an assclown holier than thou CBP idiot. From these experiences, I can only guess how much worse it is for non-citizens.
In Australia, I can board a domestic flight without removing my shoes, showing ID, or having to leave my dangerous liquids behind. Why? Because they are not credible threats. Australia gets it.
