Unfortunately, we don't know how many attacks were not even attempted because of the existence and actions of the TSA. Them merely being there and doing these checks in these ways may very well have stopped many attempts to smuggle things on board.

- GordonS 10y agoReminds me of the Tiger preventing rock from an old Simpsons episode - if you don't see any tigers, it must be working :) Surely if terrorists had wanted to undertake an airline attack and were put off by the TSA presence, they would simply have hit an easier target? There are plenty of public spaces with a lot of people around, malls etc, or even inside the airport itself? The fact that we don't see attacks is surely more likely to mean that there just aren't many such people on US soil with the means and motive?
