I've asked Bart and other TSA boosters to comment on this, and funny, they never seem to respond.
Let me take a stab at this from my point of view:
9/11 was successful because the hijackers were very familiar with the security systems, measures, and procedures in place at the time. Now, you are asking someone who plays a small part in an overall system for specific measures in place to counter such a threat from happening again (no offense Bart).
I guess I could just say, if you have to ask, you don't know. Most of the measures in place after 9/11 work perfectly fine without you armchair quarterbacking.
Tell you what... try walking into you local bank and ask them what their security measures are to prevent a robbery. See what kind of information you glean from the teller.
