Can you hear my heart and mind screaming AMEN to this post??? I am in my 60's and somehow, SOMEHOW, I nearly always get searched! I remember standing in line to take a flight during COVID--looking at the additional nightmare of masking, unmasking, masking again added to all the other and thinking, "if this had been thrust on us in the 70's we'd have had an impromptu sit-in and refused." I almost missed a flight over talcum powder. Keep the stuff, I asked--nope. Talcum toting Granny might be a terrorist. I could NOT agree with you more about this. I used to love flying--loved it! Not so much anymore.

One of many programs that are "all show, and no go".

I guess you have seen the statistics on number of terrorists they caught vs the number of TSA agents arrested. Its 0 caught and hundreds arrested, if you haven't seen them. Bah.

Yep. It is literally impossible to defend its existence.

I like to play with them and see how much I can get past them.

You are either young or not flying very often. I get the full wand and such every time. One even cut the lining out of my suitcase. Multiple sets of noise canceling headphones broken, a long list. I no longer fly if possible.
