Formed just after 9-11, this agencies conditions the citizenry to undergoing invasive control measures.

Official narrative

This agency makes people safer by checking for bombs or dangerous items aboard planes. Their use of carcinogenic X-rays scanning has saved lived saved the concomitant decrease in terrorist attacks. Citizens should be glad that it plans to roll out such invasive checks across the travel system. The introduction of watch lists are not to prepare for a totalitarian control grid, but for passenger safety.

Problems

The procedure of the TSA (and similar agencies worldwide) are not backed up by evidence of their effectiveness at reducing terrorism. For example, the "liquid bomb plot" has never been shown to be possible[citation needed] and security expert Bruce Schneier describes the liquids ban as "security theater"[1] i.e. something which is carried out for their impact on people's minds, rather than to prevent terrorist bombs.[2]
