TSA is useless, except for keeping people scared.

24. I disagree with your extreme libertarian view that checking for explosives and

weapons are not valid functions.

TSA checkpoint officers are not armed. The agency screens about 1.8 million passengers and their luggage every day for firearms and other prohibited items. The number of guns seized by the TSA at airports around the country has been on the rise since 2007. The agency seized 1,556 guns in 2012, nearly double the 803 guns confiscated in 2007, according to agency figures. Through the end of September, the agency has seized 1,343 guns this year.

There can be criminal penalties for travelers who bring firearms to TSA security checkpoints, whether it's intentional or not, and the TSA may impose civil penalties of up to $11,000, according to TSA spokesman Ross Feinstein, writing via e-mail earlier this week.

This week alone, 29 firearms were discovered at TSA checkpoints, according to a TSA blog post published Friday. Of those, 27 were loaded. None of the guns logged by the agency through Thursday was discovered at the Los Angeles airport, the site of Friday's shooting.

You also contradict yourself where you say airport terrorism was at its lowest ever when the TSA was formed, and then say it was an overreaction to airport terrorism that killed a mere 3000 people.
