Infographic for how pointless TSA is

This is a graphic depicting the real odds of an air-based terrorist attack based on historical data, accurate to September 2009. Boy, all this money, time, and energy pumped into TSA surely seems like nothing but a waste given the actual odds of another panty-bomber or worse, a bra-bomber or a girdle-bomber. Maybe we can start dumping more money into TSA to protect AMTRAK as well, they badly need the money and exposure.

I like how this displays that we have a better chance of going to Neptune twice than have a single airplane as an attack vector. We can’t even get to Neptune to begin with, which makes it that much more funny.

Cars zooming by on the road next to our apartment complex. I like the warm amber colors in this photo, which is almost identical to what the actual light from the streetlights looked like.
