The TSA doesn't just exist to stop terrorism. Also if the US didn't screen passengers, many other nations likely wouldn't accept flights originating from it.

How are you assessing the value of a human life?

I never advocated not screening passengers, just doing it more efficiently even if slightly less effective.

How are you assessing the value of a human life? I don't know of any study has ever gone above $10M.
