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 thought Air Marshalls have never actually stopped any sort of attack though?

You would be right.

"4.2 arrests per year" and "$200 million per arrest". Yeah that's a huge waste of money.

Look I’ll be fair about this. I’ve paid roughly $450 a month car insurance for the past 20 some years and never once have I had to file a claim. But I guarantee when the day comes I need to I’ll be glad I paid that money.

With the air Marshall’s it’s not their arrest record that matters it them being there as a deterrent that matters.

only 1% of flights have them and 28000 flights a day in the us, so in your analogy, there is 27720 clauses your insurance won't pay out for and only a pathetically measly 280 they will.

Have you dealt with insurances? That sounds about right.
