Until the TSA has a magic scope to view the insides of these two body cavities, there is nothing TSA can do to stop a determined whacko. WBI, the grope, shoe fetish, liquid lunacy, etc. is just silly circus antics. Passengers stopped this whacko and prior whackos like Reid, not the TSA or its policies.

And, speaking of WBI being the end all be all, seems to me some creative use of silicon, cadaver skin, or backyard surgery implants would render it as useless as it really is.

You make a valid point.

What should we do, based upon your conclusion? Stop attempting to interdict those who would do those things the like of which happened on 9/11? Trust to luck, god, or a roll of the dice?
