I have a rock that keeps tigers away. For 30 years I have not encountered any tigers. That’s a pretty good record.

Last I checked, in the US there has not been a single instance of the TSA detecting and preventing a terror attack in its 25 year history.

And presumably they wouldn’t be shy about telling us if they had.

Bombings are pretty rare. The last succesful plane bombing of a plane departing from the united states that killed people was in 1962.

This is somewhat false? There were four other bombings, two in western countries (specifically EU->US flights). None of these two were successful in terms of "the plane was downed", but bombs were carried on a plane and exploded, and security didn't stop that.

22 December 2001, American Airlines Flight 63 7 May 2002, China Northern Flight 6136 25 December 2009, Northwest Airlines Flight 253 2 February 2016, Daallo Airlines Flight 159

Ok so cockpit door was locked and thus nobody can hijack plane.

Of course even that has killed people.

I thonk it has more to do with process and pilot crew closing their door.

This is an asinine take - it literally has nothing to do with the theater we deal with at the airports in America

There's also been none since I washed my hair this morning - certainly must be related!!

I don‘t think that is true at all. There have been numerous hijacked planes since 9/11 including two in the USA just this decade.

Plane hijacking has been on its way out anyway after the turmoil of the 1970s. And that has probably more to do with a) the relative political stability of the post cold war period, and b) a general sense that airplane hijacking isn’t actually that likely to advance your political goals. If you read the list above, you see people hijacking planes all kinds of dumb methods, hardly any of them involves carrying an actual bomb onto the plane.
