I dunno. I can't think of any.
You see, if we show how useless the current security is, then the public outcry will not be "Disband the TSA!", the outcry will be "MORE SECURITY! MORE LAYERS! MORE RESTRICTIONS!"
So it's in our best interests to emphasise TSA's abuses rather than their failures. Not that we should ignore or hide their failures, but focusing on them could backfire on us and just make things worse.
