- Aloha 4y agoYou hit the nail on the head there.
- slg 4y agoThere is no mention of terrorism on that list, but I think that is a safety related improvement that largely goes unnoticed. Yes, the TSA is generally mismanaged security theater, but overall security is so much better than it was 50 years ago. I don't think people realise how common hijacking where in the late 60s and early 70s. There was literally a hijacking every week or two. Now they are incredibly rare. There hasn't been a major one in the us in the 20+ years since 9/11.
