There's however the documented cases of the guns carried onboard that they did not prevent. And there's documented evidence of TSA confiscating butter knife from the pilot (obviously, he was going to hijack himself), purse with picture of a gun from a 17-year girl (that was undoubtedly Hermione Granger and TSA knew she could turn picture of a gun to a real gun with her magic), plastic lightsaber from a small kid (Anakin Skywalker, I presume, and everybody knows how he turned out, so better to be safe) and a plastic 4 inch GI Joe gun from another kid (again, who knows those underage magicians - maybe they could turn it to the real one). I have no idea why they have problems proving they prevent many acts of terror, with such record. People must be stupid.
