Have they caught and arrested any would-be bad guys? Should be pretty easy to verify.


Well Guantanamo Bay still exists.

From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_detention_cam...:

> As of August 2024, at least 780 persons from 48 countries have been detained at the camp since its creation, of whom 740 had been transferred elsewhere, 9 died in custody, and 30 remain; only 16 detainees have ever been charged by the U.S. with criminal offenses.

Given what we do know about the secretive and illegal activities of the federal government during the War on Terror I don’t think it’s a reasonable assumption that everyone accused of terrorist activity got their day in court.


780 persons - 740 persons transferred - 9 persons dead = 31 persons that should remain. Oh wiki.



But how many were caught by TSA?
