with a bow and arrow.

as for the name of the agency... you understand that there was NO agency (not the FAA, DOT, not the DOJ, not the FBI, or the CIA) that was in charge of airport security before the TSA. So again, you are fact free.

From the same Wikipedia... the TSA replaced

" the private companies who operated under contract to single airlines or groups of airlines that used a given terminal facility."

so yeah, it makes a big difference.

you just can't have a right to weapons of mass destruction. Killing 49 people and wounding another 50 or more... is qualifying as a weapon of mass destruction.
