    It's security theater, just like the TSA you see at the airport do nothing. The real protection is hidden both at the airport and at the border.

        In general that's not true.

        Reinforced cockpit doors.

        Isolation of runways/terminals (yes incursions happen)

        Habit tracing, and Id scanning upon entry. Gait analysis and license plate reading.

        Air Marshalls (yes not on every flight)

        Lots of shit that comes together to do a ton behind the scenes.

          All means shit if someone puts their mind to it. TSA misses the majority of treat items.

                Great response.

                If you had any critical thinking you'd see how I was largely agreeing with the above…the TSA is theatre

                  Go spend a few years working in that industry. To call airport security a joke is to insult the field of comedy.
