      Interesting. I feel like surely there must be a way to…make things genuinely helpful lol. I would rather have effective security than shitty security. Idk if I would want nothing though? Weird. Thanks for sharing!

        I truly do not know if there is a good solution, but I do know the TSA ain’t it. People are pretty ingenious, and if someone really wants to get something through security, they’ll likely find a way. Hell, I saw a video of someone that built a functioning weapon entirely from items purchased after the security check. Luckily he was doing it as an example, but still.

          I feel like we already have the solution. The reason hijacking a plane is attractive for a terrorist is because you essentially have a precision missile. There’s little security for buses or trains because you can’t do the same thing. If you make the cockpit basically bulletproof and have strict procedures about entering the cockpit during flight, then it’s not nearly as attractive. Those changes were already made after 9/11. Hijacking a plane only allows the hijackers to kill the people on board, which isn’t as useful. Literally eliminate TSA and I think we’re good.

            Oh, don’t get me wrong. Eliminating the TSA is a net positive. Good to know about the increased in flight security, and that makes sense.
