The TSA has allowed criminals access to checked bags thousands of times (every time something is stolen from a checked bag), yet they do not seem to care. They're lucky the criminals have not yet decided to put a bomb into a bag.

The TSA is not a paragon of security.

Never forget that you are the one who is being treated as a threat.
