It's been well over a decade since 9-11...
...and yet this is still the state of airport security. We're literally no safer than we were 11 years ago except for the fact that airline passengers now completely understand that anyone who attempts to hijack their aircraft will likely kill everyone aboard, and their only option for survival is to disable and/or kill the criminals before they do so. Other than reinforcing cockpit doors, we didn't need to spend a decade, billions of dollars and abuse the civil rights of hundreds-of-millions of honest citizens to achieve that end.
I can only come to one of two conclusions: The government is incapable of solving any problem.
...or...
The entire point of the TSA isn't airport security at all, but to beat down the citizens of this country so that they'll eventually accept and take for granted literally any level of personal invasion, no matter how absurd or pointless.
I can't wait until these people are running all of health care.
