Sure, and what sort of security checks were there? $56 billion dollars
worth, or a patdown?

Adequate, I guess.

TSA announced tonight that during the last year, they detected and
confiscated
over 125,000 illegal articles, including but not limited to guns and knives.


That's $64,800/item. Think it's a good expenditure?

It's a start.


Oh, plus lets not forget the hundreds of additional traffic fatalities,
each year, as people drive to avoid the TSA?

But yeah, it's... A start.
