The facts on how many terrorists the TSA has caught by “screening”<\/a>:<\/p>\n

In nearly a decade there is not a single report of a terrorist having been caught during the TSA screening process. No bombs have been discovered. No hijackings have been thwarted. For the TSA to claim it has made the nation’s skies safer is as absurd as the rooster taking credit for the sun rising each morning. Observant passengers have caught more terrorist-wannabes than the 67,000 TSA employees.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is possible, I suppose, that some terrorist hasn’t tried a particular technique because they knew the TSA was there.  But global screening procedures applied to everyone can’t defeat inventive terrorists indefinitely<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What will TSA do when an airplane is finally taken down by an explosive internal to the human body that can’t be detected by any procedure the TSA now has, including body scans and pat downs?  Start xraying the internal organs and joints from head to toe of every passenger?<\/p>\n

It’s only a matter of time until TSA has to take the approach that El Al<\/a> takes.  The only question is how many people will die because of TSA refusal to profile before it is forced to change policy.  Does anyone think a determined suicide bomber would shrink from having the bomb inserted surgically?<\/p>\n

Sadly, it is probably only a matter of time.<\/p>\n
