Barely ever? I don't see any evidence to suggest that the TSA has any level of effectiveness in preventing them, either.

What prevents them is the reinforced cockpit door, and the passengers’ knowledge that they’ll die if they don’t stop the hijackers.

The TSA just happened to be made ac the same time as that changed.

Guns? If you don’t have security. It’s a lot easier to overpower someone with knives than guns

[idiotsecant]

Are you suggesting that TSA can reliably stop being from bringing guns onboard?

The only thing preventing that is that people mostly don't want to bring guns on board. It's a pointless exercise that accomplishes basically nothing .

Are you saying metal detectors don’t work? Why is it that absolutely every airport in the world has similar security - as well as Brightline in Florida and the Chunnel between London and France?

As far as people not wanting to bring guns on planes - did you forget what country this is? 2nd Amendment people get their panties in a knot anytime they can’t bring a gun anywhere.

Every time they've tested it, the testers were able to get 70-80% of their weapons past the TSA; which, yes, includes guns.

I don't know precisely how they achieved that, but they certainly did.

Citation?

The best I could find that you could sneak explosives through if you were sophisticated enough but nothing about sneaking guns through.
