Nothing. Donald used you to get reelected/more importantly to avoid spending the rest of his life in prison. That was all.

Sheel Mohnot It started because a guy literally tried to detonate explosives in his shoes. Back then, we didn’t have today’s scanners. It may feel like theater now but it wasn’t when the policy was introduced.
