7. Why would I be an idiot for not wanting to subsidize TSA's failed venture?

The reason it's failing in the first place is wait times just aren't that long. The wait times at DFW and DAL are minimal and I can't remember the last time it took me more than 15 minutes to get through a TSA line anywhere else. TSA said only 2% of travelers waited more than 20 minutes and I suspect most of those are going to be at fucked up airports like LaGuardia or Newark which I would never fly in or out of to begin with.

I have my own airline anyway. No TSA lines, period.
