Wow – finally some backlash on TSA’s “Security Theater”.

At the bottom of the infographic is the following:

The TSA has spent roughly $40 billion dollars. Homeland Security’s acting inspector general, Richard Skinner, says: “The ability of TSA screeners to stop prohibited items from being carried through the sterile areas of the airports fared no better than the performance of screeners prior to September 11, 2001.”

In all fairness, I don’t know the date of the above quote. The infographic appears to have listed a large number of sources. I think it is well done.
