The discussion topic was whether the TSA at a screening checkpoint has caught a terrorist in all of its years of existence.
All of the cites you proffered for your point were not terrorists. Now you are trying to shift the subject to decision making at the checkpoint, which is irrelevant to the discussion.
Why can't you just admit that the TSA has yet to find a terrorist at a airport screening checkpoint?
