Do a simple thought experiment. Consider an environment where the guardians are truly motivated to keep out dangerous stuff. An environment where searches are permitted to be far more invasive than permitted by the TSA. You probably think the protected environment might be pristine. Now think of the contraband that enters all prisons.
The TSA is primarily theater and is there to permit ghd airline industry to survive by convincing the masses it is mostly safe to fly. And it is, as you are more likely to be hit by lightening than suffer an attack while flying.
