That is simply wrong, at least with regard to your apparent belief that TSA is an equal part of the "team" that ensures aviation safety.
Tell me, Ron, do you believe lax gate security led to the 9/11 hijackings?

Nor do you understand your place - and that of TSA's - in the "playbook."
We existed quite nicely as a sovereign nation for over 200 years without TSA, and if TSA were eliminated tomorrow, the world wouldn't come to an end.
