I mean, I read news articles that say the TSA fail to actually catch prohibited items like weapons or drugs most of the time… so what’s the point? Many people are calling this “Security Theater”… Does this “Security Theater” actually scare away a would-be terrorist?

    They would not have stopped 9\11. There are many needs for box cutters in the secure zone of airports and so the security of pre then would have caught them. As such it is likely the terrorists obtained their weapons from a ‘friend’ after passing security.

      “Likely the terrorists obtained their weapons from a ‘friend’”

      Now that’s just lazy. Why make things up? You can look up information about one of the most well documented terrorist events in history very easily.

      They brought their own weapons. It wasn’t against any FAA rules to not have them.
