The airlines from what I am told frequently do practice drills to prevent things like this from happening. They never release their data.

That's just TSA guys going around with no SIDA badge on the tarmac to see how many people fail to stop and check them.

Reminds me of when Adam Savage came to Wootstock and he gave an audience member a replacement blade (over a foot long) bc he didn’t realize it had been in his bag until going through it before the show. … the bag he had carried on at SFO. He held it up and said “what the fuck TSA”
