No one has ever attempted to hijack an Air Choice One plane and fly it into a building. Since several screened aircraft have been found to contain terrorists, clearly the screening procedures currently implemented result in a higher risk of terrorism.

This is scientific logic, based on the principle of comparison between a control group and an experimental group.

Back in the late 70s, I remember several crop-duster commuters in California that we would take to connecting flights at LAX. We weren't screened at the Podunk airport. We would either land at the old Commuter Terminal (Where the Bradley Terminal is now located) and walk to the regular terminals or land at one of the regular terminals and hit an X-ray and WTMD before being allowed into the rest of the airside terminal.

These airlines gradually added screening at their little airports so they could land at LAX and park with the big boys, especially after the Commuter Terminal closed and was torn down.
