| 0:35.1 | I got into trouble recently when I said that TSA ID checks are just security theater. |
| 0:41.6 | Somebody was asking a question about reselling plane tickets. Why does the TSA actually match your |
| 0:47.6 | ID to your boarding pass? TSA being the Transportation Security Association? Are they an association? |
| 0:53.8 | No, they're an administration. That's right. It is a government security body in the United States. |

| 1:43.2 | or more useless, not sure the right phrasing than it was before because so many tickets are |
| 1:49.2 | refundable or changeable without penalty now. Now this is side hustle school, of course. So I'm |
