My point? My point is there were 3,656 less loaded firearms in airplanes last year in the United States than there would have been without TSA, and 20-something thousand 'dangerous devices' total kept off the flights. That's 3,656 less chances of a hijacking, or accidental discharges depressurizing a cabin and causing an emergency landing. Really, the number of chances is likely higher than that considering many of those instances likely came with one or more connecting flights.
