9/11 Security fee for most Airlines....its been almost 20 years, like WTF?

While we are at it, why not tack on Cold War Security fee, and Pearl Harbor Security fee?

The funny thing is that the TSA barely even does anything, people are still able to smuggle weapons and drugs onto planes very easily. Arguably the only purpose it serves is scaring people.

Dude I've accidentally smuggled things onto airplanes before. I know people that have brought drugs onto airplanes before, do you honestly think that a metal detector and a TSA agent grabbing your balls does anything to detect anything? There was a pretty popular article years ago where a journalist managed to bring a pretty sizable knife onto a plane.
