I’m not sure where you’re seeing advocacy of removing the screening process. The vast number of us that are critical of the TSA would like to revert to 9-10-01 style screening. We didn’t need a $6.8 billion a year boondoggle agency to ban boxcutters. You are aware of the Government Accountability Office report that states we are no better off now, aren’t you?

It’s possible that I have a WMD buried in my back yard. Is it probable?
