for this week......56 firearms accompanied travelers without incident,
7 artfully concealed prohibited items did not blow up aircraft, and
11-12 passengers who acted a bit odd or carried fraudulent travel documents traveled unmolested without committing terrorist acts.
Somebody smarter than I will have to calculate numbers of citizens molested, irradiated and thoroughly infuriated.
A real 100 lb brain will have to calculate tax dollars squandered.
Then we'll have all the stats we need.
