Do you really think the US has any real concern about being attacked?

Well I still have to take off my shoes at the airport so I'd say yes. This country hasn't stopped being afraid of being attacked in 22 years.

TSA is a jobs program. It will never go away at this point.

It 100% is, but that doesn't change the fact that Americans are still conditioned to be constantly afraid of terrorism.

Fear and caution are not the same thing.
