MODERATORS
TSA is disgustingly ineffective at stopping contraband.
Tests regularly show they miss 90% of prohibited items. WHILE consistently misconfiscating things that are allowed.
Literally the movie theater security guard checking for people smuggling in outside food is more effective than the TSA.
Like, I don't even know how you'd be that comically incompetent, at a certain point, I think malice is the only reasonable explanation.
They had me excluded interviewed, to the point of missing a flight, because they found a phillips screwdriver bit (no screw driver) in my back back. Even reminding them that airlines exclusively do not use these screws in anything inside the cabin of importance, had no effect. I totally agree with your "comically incompetent" phrasing.
"Well gee looky here, you seem to be suspiciously well versed in 'aircraft cabin screwdrivery' usage"
Best just taze him.
