The TSA has been the most useless bunch of government workers since their inception. They abuse their power while doing nothing to protect America from attack. When has the TSA ever stopped a real threat? Let's go back to each airline running thier own efficient security checks. TSA is a waste of taxpayer money.

Yep. Every incident has been either a hoax, entrapment, or intentional setup.

By incident, are you referring to the confiscation of scissors and nail files?

"Bombs" from underwear, shoes, etc.

How many have they discovered? Out of over six billion travelers that have removed their shoes, since the policy began, no bombs were discovered on them.

That was a failure of the TSA. They have never stopped or found a single show bomb.

The TSA was never involved.

I'd be interested to learn which state agency gave him the plastic explosives.
