The goal of the TSA isn't security or security effectiveness. They are building an empire. The public supports this fraud, waste, abuse, and more abuse---in large part---because of fear and ignorance.

TSA is one of the best at taking advantage of the larger efforts by the government to sell fear to the ignorant masses. Things only change when they are so bad that it might potential hurt the entire racket. And even then, TSA will try to get away with the appearance of doing something if they can.

Customer satisfaction, safety, legality, effectiveness, and the like have nothing to do with any of this.
