I mean, I read news articles that say the TSA fail to actually catch prohibited items like weapons or drugs most of the time… so what’s the point? Many people are calling this “Security Theater”… Does this “Security Theater” actually scare away a would-be terrorist?

    It is pure show. It might deter or maybe even catch the most stupid wannabe-terrorist, but tests have shown repeatedly that skilled people have no issues getting guns through without issues. All this while you can still build a bomb with stuff bought from the duty-free behind the TSA curtain.

      Damn, if this is actually true, its kinda unsettling. They spend so much budget on military but not actually have a competent TSA… 🤦‍♂️

      Well lets hope the Cockpit Doors are strong enough… in case, you know… 👀

        If you want to cause trouble, don’t bother with the cockpit doors. Windows and doors are much easier targets.

          I mean… someone could destroy a window and cause depressurization, but pilots just put on their oxygen mask and land the plane, and buildings are probably not at risk.
