We made flights more secure with the better door to the cockpit. The TSA part is equally effective as a metal detector is. It wouldn't be less secure to not do the enhanced screening the TSA does. It would mean several companies lose out on massive contracts for that fancy equipment, which is why it won't happen.

You're confusing the workers for their tools. Like saying I don't need a mechanic to fix my car, just a wrench and a jack.

The government kickbacks to hardware supplies isn't the reason you think TSA are being rude to you. And this stuff doesn't get meaningfully less expensive when businesses buy direct.
