Laird said "99.9999" percent of what is surrendered at airports is not from terrorists "but from people who forgot what was in their luggage" and likely doesn’t say much about discouraging terrorists.
Almost! You're only off by .0001%!

To be perfectly fair, the TSA does a much better job counting items that it CONFISCATES than it does counting complaints.
