That's not true. The FBI and CIA investigate and gather intelligence with HUGE resources. They have authority throughout the country and across the planet. The TSA does not have that. The TSA is a deterrent. They don't foil plans because they don't investigate. They only act on what is in front of them. You don't seem to know what the TSA does.

He certainly palled around with them, and he supported Franco. But that shouldn’t be considered in evaluating his art. Ezra pound was a fascist but also a brilliant poet. Once we start considering an artist’s personal life or politics in evaluating the worth of their art there’s no stopping. We’d have to toss out everybody from Gauguin to Hemingway. I personally believe Dali’s painting to be laboriously over-dramatic, over-rated and a bit cornball, but not because of his politics.
