Are you saying that people have been arrested with shoe bombs, but yet we are unaware of it? I didn't think that we had a Star Chamber in the US. If that is the case, that is even a greater cause for alarm.
It has been quoted before, but subsequent to Richard Reid, there have been no shoe bombs. What are you alluding to that happens several times a week?

Can those who believe this way support their belief’s, or are they just angry about the fact that there is another group out there that has the authority to affect their lives?
Have you examined the CFR's that have been nicely laid out for you with regards to whether TSA is violating the law in examining ID's? What is the current SOP for those that refuse to produce ID?
And I would still like to know if Continental's knives are permitted through your checkpoint.
