Representing the security what now? Given the agency's performance over the decades I'd be deeply surprised to find out the TSA could credibly secure a mall parking lot.

That’s not the point of terrorism. If you blow up a TSA building, citizens get scared because it looks like „if the state can’t even protect itself, how are they going to protect me?“.

there are semi-competent arms of the US security apparatus that are not principally theatrical, that I would find shocking to be hit. The NSA comes to mind.

If anyone ever hit the TSA I'd just laugh at their piss-poor targeting. Thanks for clearing out our dusty community theater, now maybe we can build an ice cream shop there or something else actually useful.

		Most federal agencies tend to be colocated. Of the 168 people who died in the Oklahoma City bombing, only 8 were from law enforcement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_City_bombing
