TSA Scores Again

TSA Scores again! “"Last year, TSA’s workforce screened more than 603 million passengers at 450 airports across the country and stopped more than 125,000 prohibited items at airport checkpoints," Riley said in a statement that was provided to The Hill. "Of those items, more than 1,300 were firearms."

  Let’s see now, if my arithmetic is accurate that means that one out of every 4824 passengers was carrying something that TSA called “prohibited”. Assuming that no one was carrying TWO bottles of perfume. Approximately one out of every 500,000 passengers was carrying a firearm. It doesn’t indicate how many of those were legal firearms and how many actual terrorists were arrested. I wonder why?

Many many years ago (in the early sixties I think) I came upon a hippy standing on a corner in New York City. He was standing there snapping his fingers and looked very occupied with it so I asked him what he was doing. He said he was keeping the elephants away. I said “There isn’t a wild elephant within 5000 miles of here.” He said, “Yeah, works great don’t it?”

That’s the way I see it.
