My stepsister always gets picked for special screening at the airport, every time, but the one time I was picked instead of her is ironically the time they would have found something. When she was in grad school she was part of a study that tested the effects of illegal drugs on rats, and had trace amounts of some of those drugs on her hands from repeated expose. Because she always did get picked she got a letter that said there was a legal reason for those drugs to be on her hands, and of course that was the one time she went right through.

TSA doesn't actually care about your illegal drugs so continue to poison yourself with legal and illegal narcotics at your own pleasure! They simply need to confiscate all drugs because they are federal employees following federal laws against substances such as these. Did you also know that some drugs can and have been used with the same ingredients to make explosives, even the legal prescriptions!

[@bella9698]

I remember once when I was seven we were coming home from a trip to Disney and I had brought a light saber back. When we were talking about it with the TSA agent while she was looking through my moms bag (my little brother had some baby formula that triggered the detector) I made a joke about it obviously not being a real light saber, and this lady glared at me, told me to not joke about weapons and had my parents patted down because they genuinely thought that a seven-year-old who likes light sabers was a terrorist...

[@GruntDangle]

It wasn’t your comment that caused TSA to pat down your parents. It was the baby formula that caused your parents to get a Pat Down. Explosives are made out of plenty of different kinds of chemicals and explosives. One of which being powder like substances. HENCE the baby formula (which is a powder). The machine that tests the baby powered detects trace amounts of explosives. Not saying that you or your parents had any, it could be a number of different things. To make sure that it isn’t an explosive, your parents got a pat down (you and your brother were not old enough to receive said pat down so neither one of you were chosen).

I was going on a flight to Washington D.C. during 2018 for a surgery on my esophagus (My throat closes, preventing food from going down) and I was limited to very few foods that had the ability to reach my stomach, which were Chicken and Stars soup, yogurt, cereal, and oatmeal. We stood two hours in Orlando International Airport's lines before making it to TSA screening, they had my two boxes of cereal, and six cans of soup, and a box of oatmeal confiscated, afterward my mother had to undergo a full-body search in the middle of the airport. The search lasted 10 minutes as they kept waving our luggage through the detector. As this was happening, a couple walked up to the TSA checking station to be searched as well, the TSA official asked if there was any liquid substances inside their baggage, to which they answer no. Seconds later, the TSA official begins pulling large bottles of champagne and other liquors from their bag. They removed either 7-8 bottles from that couples luggage, and as the TSA were finishing up violating my mother's privacy, we witnessed the couple infront of us being allowed to keep their many bottles of alcohol, and given permission to proceed. At no time did we ever receive our confiscated food, and we had to board the flight to Washington D.C. with nothing but the luggage in our clothes, and some toiletries. Suffice to say I have no respect for TSA or any institution thereof. Simply making a mirage of 'security' in an airport doesn't stop attacks in the airports or their aircraft above. Proper security measures, and intelligence does.

[@clockworkkirlia7475]

​@@cumguzzler8537 Even if that was true (which it isn't; zweihanders are proper flexible steel and would take a lot of force to break), one trait of the katana's construction is that it's essentially a really elegant iron bar with a sharp edge welded on the front. That's obviously not quite accurate, but it is true that, while a katana's edge is super brittle, the body of the thing is real sturdy and you could definitely use it as a bludgeon if blunt. EDIT: As pointed out by Jona Jo, this isn't quite accurate when it comes to replicas, which apparently use modern forging techniques rather than traditional construction. That said, the overall point still stands; a long metal bar is a dangerous weapon pretty much regardless.

That DHS test was particularly interesting to me just because the results were so glaringly awful. They did 70 tests by sending undercover agents with bombs made in various styles through TSA checkpoints, but nothing experimental or new. It was not a very difficult test for TSA to pass if they were doing their due diligence, and yet of the 70 tests sent through their checkpoints all across the nation, 67 of them went undetected. This includes in major airports like JFK and LAX! They did these tests again in 2017 at Minneapolis-St Paul...the SAME 95 percent failure rate! And repeat tests at other airports that year had a general 70 percent rate! And that's not mentioning the over 470 new carry-on baggage screening machines they got where 99 percent have been sitting in storage! The US would be better off scaling back TSA and increasing the number of armed air marshals to have at LEAST one per flight, and sometimes 2 or 3 depending on the aircraft, flight time, etc. TSA just never has cut it and likely never will.

[@HassleCat]

I'm not sure I believe these results. In fact, I don't believe them at all because I detected several test explosive devices during my time with TSA. I don't believe I as the only one who could find the devices on the X-ray.

Assuming that this statement is true, it’s likely because TSA has such a high turnover rate. At least 40% of the employees you encounter are new hires and have only there for less than 6 months.

To all the people who argue that the TSA is a deterrent, I would say those people don't do any international traveling. For instance, when I showed up in Haneda airport in Tokyo, I honestly think I got through everything & was out the door in about 10-15 minutes, max. Same goes for when I was leaving. How many terrorist attacks have you heard of in Japanese airports?? The fact is, terrorism is blown out of all proportion. It's like shark attacks. You're vastly more likely to be killed by a cow than a shark -- but sharks are much scarier. In the same way, you're *much* more likely to be killed by Frank down the street than Ahmed on an airplane. Sharks and Ahmed make for great stories which grip our imagination, even though they don't pose any real threat. This is why we cling to the fear.

[@bloodguzzler]

+Dr. Zoidberg Add to the fact that the amount of terrorists caught by the TSA (zero) is smaller than the amount they missed. A terrorist even managed to sign up for the TSA's PreCheck program

[@havesomedata]

+Pablohascake "...broad-brush measures (such as general bag-checking and even potentially using metal detectors) are arguably necessary foundations for limiting possible terrorism on the lowest branch." Meh. That's child's play junk.

[@danielball959]

+Pablohascake problem with your thesis being, that 'spur of the moment attacks' didn't happen BEFORE the TSA, and really, wouldn't happen it with the agency in place as it exists currently. in the meantime, you're sumping huge amounts of money into phake security-while real, effective methods (*methods proven to actually WORK)remain insufficiently funded or supported at the official level, funded from a government plunging deeper and deeper into debt. part of rationally balancing the budget, must include eliminating these 'security theater' exercises like TSA, and then devoting the funding to methods proven to actually work-such as SigInt, HumInt, and rational security measures such as the protected cockpit doors, training aircrew to respond in a crisis situation, and positioning of functional protective assets at likely points. (Such as inside the airframe of an airliner), as well as supporting efforts to gather effective intelligence, and most important CO-ORDINATING that intelligence. (9/11 happened in large part because agencies weren't talking to one another-many of the terrorists were on expired student visas-that's right, EXPIRED student visas.) while others certainly should have been easy enough for INS to keep track of (being not expired 'n all...) we've even after-the-fact had down-to-the-moles profiles on them in the news-from documents predating the attack. (Likewise, for the previous WTC bombing with the fertilizer bomb in the nineties). TSA is a low-income job and a low-income jobs program to swell the ranks of SEIU membership. that's all it functionally contributes to anyone, and the standards for 'officers' in the TSA are lower than those for the average state-level prison guard or mall-cop...but they're paid in excess of eighteen bucks an hour plus a power-trip and opportunities to steal luggage, personal items, personal electronics, wallets, etc. The agency serves no functional, real-world purpose other than allowing a few politicians to proclaim that they've "Done Something About The Problem" (briefly) while providing federal paycheques to people you wouldn't hire to serve lattes. at one time, in the fifties, when America was running budget surplus and the economy was growing at over ten percent, we could afford this kind of outlay-but that was the fifties, not now.

Funny thing. When me and a few friends went to Costa Maya on a cruise trip, my friend bought a alcohol pouring class made to look like a revolver gun (“shot” glass, get it) and they confiscated it because it ‘looked’ like a weapon. Meanwhile, I bought a Mayan obsidian knife, I was willing to give it up, but they just let me keep it. They didn’t even try to confiscate it. So they’re willing to confiscate stuff that look like weapons, but not the actual potential murder weapon. Logic?

The agent knows their Tic-Tacs! Orange is the WAY, I HAVE SPOKEN! Tic Tac were first introduced by Ferrero (yes, the same ones behind Ferrero Rocher) in 1969, under the name "Refreshing Mints". In 1970, the name was changed to Tic Tac, after the distinctive clicking sound made by the pack being opened and closed. I love this show, it can help you get into the proper research by showing the highlights. They do sometimes put a bit of tv exaggeration (not to the point of actually ruining the facts), but even if they do, they show you the sources of their statements, and even put links on their websites and interviews with their experts.

My 'favorite' moment with customs was when I came back from Germany with a giant plush tiger that I won at a fair. It was too big for my luggage so I took it as carry-on instead. After being stuck in a plane for 10+ hours and waiting another hour or so in the customs line, I got escorted into a separate room where the plushy was swabbed to make sure there where no trace combustible or explosive chemicals to be found. Keep in mind this was AFTER the flight. If I had a bomb in that thing, don't you think I would've set it off at some point in that 10 hour flight? Plus I was starting to get sick at the time so I was feeling even more miserable. A fun day for everyone involved. I also got treated like a little kid during the entire thing even though I was 22 at the time. Sorry that the giant stuffed animal made for a better pillow than what the airlines provide.

It's actually not, with concepts like the illusion of security the desired affect is not to make us feel falsely safe, though that is part of it. The intention of this is to dissuade people from attempting this, rather than catch them at it. It's true we haven't caught any terrorist attack a since 9/11, but there have only been two attempts. Because of the presentation that our airports are impregnable terrorists are more likely to focus on targets they feel are more vulnerable and have less protection, I'm surprised they didn't talk about that in the show at all

I was going through TSA pre check, had to take my belt off and the lady inspected it. she undid the cobra buckle and gasped as she unclipped it thinking it was going to be a belt knife. Incompetence of TSA is astounding.

[@bean6803]

I actually once brought in a knife on my carry-on by mistake and I didn’t realize until we were at our destination and long gone. The TSA didn’t notice or comment on it. It was just a tiny exacto knife I had been using for a school art project so I get that it could be easy to miss, but they’ve posted to their Instagram about confiscating singular razor blades.

[@kyrajohnson3504]

Same thing happened to me once! Made it to Kenya from the US and back with an exacto knife with extra blades in the handle without getting dinged for it once. I think my bag went through around 10 scans and nothing. I accidentally found it in my pencil case while I was waiting for my last flight home after getting through US customs and just covertly slid it back in my bag.

[@richardheudorf2245]

I take a Swiss army knife every time I travel. Only has a 1 inch blade. They stop me about once every twenty times. Can't get that water bottle by them though!

[@NHeinz]

The exact thing happened to me on a flight back from the states to europe. Forgot to put a knife i normally carry into my checked luggage and left it in the backpack and...nothing happened.

Have you ever gone fishing? When you caught your first fish, did you tell anyone about it? Yea... They would too, if they caught anyone, since it is in their own interest to show themselves usefull. But so far, not a single one has been presented.

[@brandonng2883]

I've seen cops showing mugshots of crooks and the things they confiscated. I've seen full reports on a fire accidents. I've seen lawyers to present older cases to clients as references of how a case would look like. I wonder why there's nothing from TSA? Are they keeping a low profile on the successes? Hmmm I wonder....

[@MartialBorschel]

TSA post what the confiscate frequently to Instagram. We would know.

[@brandonng2883]

@@MartialBorschel I don't know, man. Those confiscated items don't pose much threats, let alone useful for large scale terrorist attacks. The video's pertaining to the subject whether TSA is wasting taxpayers' money or not. In my country, these TSA officers confiscate drinking water yet nearby the boarding gate, there are several shops that sells drinking water just right after you've gone through the body checking. If I were to plan a terrorist attack, I wouldn't just walk to the officers and let them check me. I would at least hire several people to smuggle in some BCWs, firearms, or explosive. Of course, that's what my country's airport looks like.

[@MartialBorschel]

That's totally fair. I'm American and Israeli and German, so I get to see the breadth of security even just traveling between different countries I have nationality with. In Israel I doubt you will be able to pull a terror attack off. They do everything Americans do, but add in profiling, observation as soon as in the airport or grounds, multiple flight personal who are also armed, not to mention half a plane who are also military trained, if retired. In America we have similar systems such as Flight Marshals (who make very few arrests - 200 mil per arrest actually). The video is correct that the TSA is for show- but it is possible to stop idiots feasibly. The real security is actually beyond the checkpoints, oddly enough.

I know this doesn’t count as TSA, but I would just like to rant about the unaccompanied minor situation that I went through. It was after a two week summer camp in Houston, Texas (no it was not a Boy Scout camp I’m not a masochist), and my parents obviously didn’t want to fly all the way back just to walk me through an airport since I’ve flown AT LEAST like 20 times over the course of my life. Anyways my mom got a ticket, put in all the information needed, went through everything she needed to so I could fly back home. Even as a backup I brought a folder with a letter from her, my coronavirus test card, a copy of my passport along with my actual one, a copy of my mom’s passport, and the list goes on. I had everything I needed to get through the flight and I had every piece of information you could possibly ask for to confirm it was me. We even organized for a airport staff to walk with me just for legal reasons. But, when I arrived at the airport and went to the check-in desk, they wouldn’t let me through. They insisted on having some guardian take me through security and stuff even though my closest relative is halfway across the darn country. After several arguing between the lady and my mom, they got a staff member to take me to a waiting room where another guy then drove me on those little carts over to my gate. Btw it’s now about 2 o’clock and I haven’t had lunch, but I can’t go 50 feet to the nearest store because of course I can’t. After we finally arrive at my home airport and I find my parents and we start leaving, we get called back so they can sign a document confirming they are my parents as if I can’t do that myself. Everything was super inconvenient and unnecessary for no reason at all. Oh, and I forgot to mention: EVERYTHING I just described above happened ONE WEEK before I turned 15, and I would no longer be considered an unaccompanied minor. It is an experience I am glad to never have to go through again

[@SYN4456]

Funny story: When I was deploying to Afghanistan, the TSA wouldn't let my buddy on with a pair of nail clippers. It was considered a weapon. When my buddy held out his M-4 rifle and said, "No, THIS is a weapon", the TSA agent looked at him clueless.

[@stayniftyGuyFaceMannPersonDude]

Solid Snake Well the major companies would try to smash anyone forming a union: Unions fight for the rights of the workers and better working conditions, pay, etc, but the TSA shouldn't even exist. like the video said, it's all a show to make cowards who are afraid to take a fuckin' chance in their lives feel nice and warm inside. So in this case, it's great.

Just to be clear, the Shoe Bomber, Richard Reid was on American Airlines Flight 63, Paris to Miami. And the Underwear Bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was on Northwest Airlines Flight 253, Amsterdam to Detroit. TSA does not operate in France or the Netherlands. So, it's true TSA did not stop either of these attempted attacks. But, TSA didn't have a chance to stop them either. So, we'll never know.
