Dude, it's exactly the opposite.

Except the TSA has never prevented anything

Underwear bomber

Not one to defend TSA, but still.

Gotta give it to em you do something you do it right

Their value is also mostly deterrence, rather than active prevention

The TSA will always end up killing more people than it will ever save

@Edgy_Username Exactly, am I supposed to consider a bunch on unrelated skinheads committing armed robbery a serious national threat?

Know why?

@Deleted User Who the fuck has the TSA ever killed?

the entire point is that you wouldn't find out if they did prevent something from happening

@banestrum his fee fees

```ONE islamic terrorist killed 49 people in a single incident, but it took 14 years for "far right" "terrorism" to approach the same figure
And I'm supposed to consider Islamic terrorism LESS of a threat?```
9/11 is obviously a massive outlier

Because people are more likely to drive rather than fly now which is statistically much more dangerous.

when am I gonna see white nationalists flying crop dusters into corn silos???

@Deleted User So the TSA should regulate motor transport now?

holy shit, @Deleted User , do you have any idea of the implications of having that loose of a standard for responsibility

Unintended consequences

@Sue✨ Yeah, it's such an outlier we fought a bunch of stupid wars over it, it was a pretty big deal. Over a thousand people died because we upset some rich saudi cunt with religious pull

They are not worth the $7 billion

That's why people don't include 9/11 in these "far right attacks have killed more than islam" meme-tier infographs, because it makes the graph so damn big you can't even see the far right deaths

Airlines could handle their own security much better

right, but i think the studies hooty posted earlier were more talking about the frequency of how often your standard terrorist attack happens and who commits them, putting 9/11 in there defeats the purpose

I do not trust airlines to handle my luggage, let alone my security

do you think there'd be less incidents without security

@Sue✨ I'm pretty sure the "point" was to say that islam has somehow killed less

Well it's really hard to get jihadits on planes anymore so yeah homegrown terrorism happens more often

Unless it's the UK of course

@Deleted User I'd imagine so, but it's impossible to prove

Where I'm scared to be edgy incase the SAS invade my house

Who knows how many insane persons have been deterred over the years by the simple idea that they'd get caught

@Edgy_Username Yeah, you guys fucked it

Eliminate parliment now, start over

We're to far gone we have no say about what happens in our government

the article could've been a little clearer about its numbers but generally politifact is fairly ok

Look at that garbage, for instance

It ends with "Not a single death has resulted from terrorist activity by a Muslim extremist refugee."

well, yes, that's a different article, yes

I have Muslim uncles and the one thing they detest the most is refugees which surprised me

Ah yes, not a single person known to be an enemy of the united states on religious grounds has been granted passage into the US and then carried out a lethal attack on american soil
