In this forum, TSA just cannot win, no matter the measures it tries. “Fair” is not a word 99% of those posting here comprehend, but they sure can abuse it.
So how many terrorists have BDO's caught? The money spent on BDO's would be better allocated to making sure the TSA doesn't have such a high failure rate in Red Team tests. Or equipment that is researched carefully before we buy more white elephants like puffers. How about 100% of all checked luggage and cargo being screened.
If you want to "win" in these forums then the TSA needs to concentrate on their job. Stopping guns, knives, and explosives from getting on planes and forget the James Bond fantasies.
