Special forces huh? Obviously not the brightest bulb in the pack.
Actually many outbound flights do use TSA, as do hops in the US from comm airports but the point remains (which you are ignoring) he flew COMMERCIAL from North Carolina to Texas with the C-4 in his bag and the TSA missed it.

Just admit the failure.
