So, in other words, airline bombings have gone way down as screening procedures have increased?
- arcticbull 3y agoIf the only thing standing between America and another airplane based incident is the tireless work of the TSA, who fail 95% of their own red team attempts - why would there not be an incident out of a private aviation terminal where there is literally no security? Either there’s some other non-security reason the likelihood has gone down and we don’t need the TSA — or it hasn’t, and something else (like reinforced cockpit doors) is stopping them and again we don’t need the TSA. We’ve been running an A/B test the whole time between the public and private aviation terminals, and the results seem pretty compelling. To answer your question directly: the procedures at the private terminal haven’t changed at all.
