> does anyone know how many people were caught trying to smuggle explosives on a plain until now?

I believe exactly 0 caught by TSA. Given their job performance they should have all been fired by now and the department closed.

FBI and even regular passengers have in 10 years or so caught and stopped some terrorists. TSA hasn't claimed a single person they stopped red-handed with a bomb.

All they did was waste years and years of productive time, abused, molested people, stole goods expensive and cheap alike and so on.

It is a self-perpetuating cancer (not unlike any other large organization) that now that it has been created will come up with further excuses to stay in business.

At least FBI is smart enough once a while to find some feeble minded brain-washable idiot and entrap him (groom him) to make him buy chemicals for explosives and then claim "oh look we have prevented deh terrorism!" and throw the idiot in prison for life.

TSA isn't even competent to do those false flag like activities. It is a pure cancer spreading and consuming resources.
