Right and Duty

If figures quoted by Homeland Security are correct and TSA has failed to find dangerous materials 60% to 90% of the time when tested by Red Teams then they are doing only slightly better for airline safety than the Energy department is doing for energy independence which is zero percent. Perhaps it would have been cheaper and more effective to issue pistols to all adult boarding passengers and reclaim them at the end of the flight allowing the passengers to provide for their own safety which is their right and duty.
