I guess they think they're law officers or something. They're more akin to security guards. I hate that individuals are not able to go to work and earn a wage but I really thing the TSA is full of themselves.

Even safer than being a security guard I bet.

I'd say their risk profile is limited to someone attacking the checkpoint explosively, which has not happened.

Nobody goes to rob the till or start a knife fight at the airport.

There's too many people for anything short of large scale violent crime, which is pretty rare.
