Regardless of whatever draconian measures the TSA thinks up next.
Nice going Halls, I’d give you a “C” for originallity and a “D-“ for reality.

Most intelligent comment of the day! +100:-:

Now, I have seen nothing official on this yet, but here is what I can see happening.
1. Increased call for WBI’s at all checkpoints and increasing the frequency of their use.
2. A significant DHS budget increase, with the largest portion of it going out to other countries so that they can improve their pre-boarding security.
3. Lighters and matches, well lets just say that we have been there before.
4. Random screening at all US airports will jump significantly.
5. The current efforts by some members of congress to ban the use of WBI systems will quietly die a well deserved death.
