According to <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.transtats.bts.gov&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.transtats.bts.gov&#x2F;</a>, there were 719 million airline passengers last year. The average human lifespan is 79 years.<p>Assuming each passenger wastes an hour being molested and arriving overearly due to uncertainty about how long the molestation could take, this means <i>the TSA effectively kills over one thousand people every year</i>.

It isn&#x27;t like we never had security at Airports before. Is your issue with the current implementation or the fact its a government agency instead of private contractors?<p>Since the rash of hijackings in the 70s its never been possible to simply walk onto an airplane without some security screening.
