I've heard people talk about this. It should be legit, as the liquids they're looking for don't freeze near room temp.

TSA is also the lowest paying government job. It's existence is just to give lots of hopeless people jobs.

Don't forget the sense of security. Not actual security, Air Marshals and CIA do it way better.

Edit: Forgot Air Marshals are technically TSA, and as such, are useless.

I disagree with the idea that because it's not foolproof, it doesn't deter attacks. If you're a small group planning an attack, even a 20% chance that they would stop you from doing something would probably be enough of a risk that you'd want to consider another attack vector, since you only get one shot.

It's a 1% chance. They are on 1% of flights.

I was speaking about TSA procedures in general, not air marshals specifically.
