> If that’s your concern, why would you want TSA Precheck where you have to give the government your fingerprints and go through a background check?

I'd rather just have practically none of it because it's largely a waste of money and time and a major inconvenience while providing practically little real security.

> Not getting blown out the sky is a pretty big benefit.

Tons of other countries have far more basic security at airports. They're not constantly having planes blown out of the sky. Airlines operated for decades before the formation of the TSA and millimeter wave scanners and taking off our shoes and stereoscopic face scans and yet they were not getting blown out of the sky.
