I’d like to share a short little personal anecdote.
I was flying out of a small regional airport that has about 4 flights per day. I showed up early and TSA was absent. The pulldown metal grating was open. Anyone could have walked to the gates. I waited politely for about 40 minutes before 3 TSA agents showed up coming back from lunch. Important to note that they came from behind me, from outside the airport and not from a security office which may have been overlooking the checkpoint.
During this time several other confused passengers showed up and joked that we were “on the honor system”. I don’t like blowing any whistles and think TSA is nearly worthless anyways, but I sent some pics to a group chat just for fun. One of my friends submitted them to TSA and must have given them my contact info, because I was contacted by an investigator a few weeks later.
That’s all. If anyone wants a pic of the checkpoint, pm me. The airport is a small airport known for inexplicably having a very luxurious bathroom
