Closing the barn door after the horse has gone.

I would just looooooove to know how many bad guys have been stopped.

I don't mean those fools who have always brought their guns on board ... pre 9/11 planes were full of guns and we all know that some still make it through. I don't mean people with scissors, forgotten sharp things. I don't mean the harmless fuzzy ones.

I wonder how many dedicated, mobbed up with a serious "we're gonna take this airplane" terrorists have been stopped at the screening stations?

Reid was stopped by pax and FA's. The fellow who crossed with bomb materials in his car from Vancouver doesn't go to the TSA trophy book.

OF ALL THE PICTURES IN THE POWERPOINT PRESENTATION, NOT ONE WAS OF A CATCH BY THE TSA?

So, in how many millions of searches costing how many millions of dollars have we caught real "bad guys?"
