Well, I was certainly comparing someone to my five year old, not to the benefit of that someone.

I do, based on results and my common sense. I've got a college degree, I've flown 3M+ miles on several airlines over the last 20+ years, I'm relatively smart, I've (so far) raised my children well, I've been with the same woman for 15+ years, I can even walk and chew bubble gum at the sametime.
Is the TSA some monolithic entity, like the NRA on gun control? Obviously not. Is DHS? Pffft.

Well, it is non-frequent, isn't it? Since 911 it's happened <5 times by my count. The percentage is, what, diddly/squat?
