I’ve forgotten a combination OC/CN spray (aka peppermace) in the bottom of a bag and been waved through. Complete clown shoes.
I used to work last mile logistics in a big city with an international airport. I lived there until my twenties and flew in and out many times before and after the TSA. I've seen the backend, where they have the robot explosive sniffer, and only witnessed them use it for one package I dropped off. It's all theatre.
Fun fact, in Europe you dont have to remove your shoes, yet noone has bombed any planes.
Flew back from Mexico last week and got to keep my shoes on. We all survived
That's because you got lucky and boarded an Airbus.
ITT people don’t remember the joke that was security beforehand.
Maybe we’d like to go back to the good old days though.
A few more hijackings and Lockerbies are worth cheapening up security.

Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
