And as I've posted before, I have in my possession a study which concludes that the most serious threat to aviation security is not above the wing or in the passenger terminal. That study was rejected by TSA management, in part because it didn't reach the outcome that TSA management wanted, and because it would have exposed the futility of your Kabuki theater and 45,000 new federal positions.

Call BS all you want. I've never challenged the costs of the 9/11 attacks, just the response we've taken following the attacks.
