TSA has routinely failed at catching contraband when tested. 2015 it was 95% failure rate. In 2017 it was 70%. Maybe it's 50% by now, I haven't seen a recent test result. Besides, they are unarmed. And unarmed person is just a other target for active shooters. Put TSA where the TX shooting happened and at most they might have absorbed a few bullets that would have been destined for the the kids.
