It's the only place I am concerned about inappropriate touching. It's the only place I am concerned about being forced into a room for something the TSA says I consented to, but I know nothing about. It's the only place my possessions may be confiscated and sold to others. It's the only place I may be fined five figures for even passively resisting. And that's just the start.

Risk is likelihood and impact. While the impact of some things are worse, the likelihood of the above from TSA is much greater.

It's ironic that an organization founded to keep travelers safe poses the greatest threat to their safety and security.

The TSA's making themselves the greatest threat justifies the number of threads.
