    I know this one… it’s because the TSA sucks and isn’t anything more than security theater.

      What’s surreal is being in a security line that is so backed up that the TSA on duty decide to tell people to keep their shoes on, and they open up the old fashioned metal detector to supplement the body scanner just to get people through faster.

      Straight up confirmation that none of what they do matters.

      It’s also a slush fund pork-barrel for screening device manufacturers! (alwayshasbeen.meme)

        you mean the devices that were stupid and no one wanted to buy because they were mostly useless, until suddenly 9/11 and the investors in the company Republicans demanded they be installed in every airport and bus station?

      I read an article a little while ago that stated exactly this. That security theater was the actual goal of the TSA.
