TSA Searches, Bomb Risk Near Zero | Jim Harper | Cato Institute: Commentary

TSA Searches, Bomb Risk Near Zero | Jim Harper | Cato Institute: Commentary: "In 99 million domestic flights over the past decade, transporting seven billion U.S. travelers, there have been zero bombs snuck on to planes and detonated. (The one failed attempt came from overseas.) Common sense calls that a risk that's near zero."

"Air travel will never be 100 percent safe. But it would take a lot of successful attacks to make it more dangerous, for example, than driving."
