Jokes aside, the "perfect" airport security system is one that closes and dismantles the airport.

In real life there is no such thing as "perfect" security.

My perfect system would have TSA (in any form - including contracted) frogmarched out of all the airports and replaced with something much more sensible.

We sure didn't have "perfect security" before 9/11, but it was a whole lot closer to optimum than what we have now. People are aghast at what the national government spends, but when we have a culture of overreaction like this, waste is pretty much guaranteed. That's why people need to chill, so their rational mind can provide measured responses.
