Security Theater
I'm traveling this week for the first time in over a year. A person, who shall remain nameless, is traveling with me and checked all the way through airport security at DFW with a box of 9mm ammunition in his carry-on bag. He didn't do it on purpose. He forgot it was in there. But not only did he get through security with 9mm bullets, but they never even scanned his ticket.
So we have that going for us.
