Regardless of the assumption of how many people are nefarious or how actually effective TSA is, your point stands.
If they screen normally 99% of the time, then the occasional relaxing of the checks just means that the effectiveness has gone from X to 0.99*X.
TSA is security theater, but this isn’t the evidence of that.
Tragically, the funding was cut in Trump’s Schumer’s Big Beautiful Bill.

I’m playing that game right now, but I think I need to turn up the music volume. I’ve heard the doom-style music ramp up during fights, but I haven’t paid it much attention.

Type and compute until it’s done!
If I were a Brit I would definitely make it a point to bust out my worst American accent and call it Alumin(no i)um whenever possible.
Oh that’s a good one, I can totally hear it in my head!
I’m curious now if there are English words (American or the fancy kind) that non-native speakers commonly over-pronounce when goofing around in a similar way.
What’s the phase where the popcorn is gone, so you drag your finger through the salt/butter residue, then lick it off like an animal?
I agree, but at the same time, I wouldn’t give up having the contrast between seasons for anything. You need that 92 degrees with 80% humidity to really appreciate the cool down after a thunderstorm. And my absolute favorite time of year is that first chilly week in September that let’s you know the heat is behind you–but the frigid cold is on the way.
All things in balance and moderation…
Also, if ICE was only going after the “real” criminals, what the fuck do we need ICE for? We’ve already got a stupidly-overfunded law enforcement and prison apparatus.
The fact that we need a separate agency to go after immigrants pretty much admits that the intent is to go after non-criminals.
