* I'm just not sure, but I take it that if you inspect a few billion air travellers that you occasionally will find something real that may have cost an air traveller to die.* The question is: why did nothing like this ever made the national news? There has been the odd instance of someone bringing a knife on an airplane, and that was about it. There have also been several FBI-led entrapments and leadings-on of wannabe terrorists, who could never have caused any damage even if they had wanted to. What we haven't seen is the TSA preventing an airplance hijacking. My best guess is that these things are rare to begin with, and if there were any plots it was the police that got on top of them, not the TSA ballsack grabbers.
