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.
A few points.
The churn in TSA employment indicates that their basic procedures are widely known outside of TSA.
Do you really believe that no potential threat exist from someone currently working for TSA and funneling that information to interested parties. Heck, TSA can't even control the thieves stealing from checked baggage, how could they control a person acting as a spy? Any group that doesn't mind spending the time can obtain anything they need to plan a mission with a likely successful outcome.
If one potential target has been hardened why not pick a softer target?
Air Transport is hardened somewhat so what prevents some nutcase from driving a box truck with a load to the middle of the ------ bridge and pulling the trigger? The chance of discovery before the act?
The most likely group to attack the US seems willing to invest the time needed to plan and execute an attack. Why would that suddenly change?
