The Blue Angels are homeported in Pensacola, FL, and during the spring and fall, they practice for an hour every morning. I was stationed in Pensacola for 6 months for flight training, and our house was pretty close to the end of the runway. So we got an hour-long airshow almost every morning.
The USAF has continual complaints about the KC-46 tanker aircraft, also built by Boeing, for the same issue; foreign objects and trash left strewn about the aircraft.

The solution is to privatize airport security, and make them responsible to the airlines or airports. The TSA generally DOESN'T detect firearms or "suspicious" packages, and has never once caught an actual terrorist.
I would note that the left and right boosters had previously been used, so the refurb process works well. I further understand that the center core was a NEW rocket which hadn't learned how to land yet.....
Will the FAA also encourage drone pilots to wear silly hats as well? Because neither a hat nor a vest will actually cause drone operators to BEHAVE properly.....
