TSA Risks
Apparently the TSA is merely increasing our risk of death. In the past 10 years less than 250 domestic US passengers have died due to terrorist incidents, a rate of (250/7 billion) or less than 1 in 30 million.
Because all of those deaths occurred before the TSA was founded, we'll give the TSA the benefit of the doubt and say that they were responsible for having reducing the rate to zero. But that rate reduction comes with a cost -- the 1 in 30 million guaranteed deaths due to cancer, plus the cost in civil liberties.
The cost benefit analysis demonstrates that TSA is delivering a raw deal.
