I have a great idea. A third screening. Check people as they come off the plane.
Oh don't give them any ideas.
Secondary screening is used loosely to include extra screening at the TSA checkpoint or beyond up to the gate, whenever, wherever or whomsoever TSA decides to screen over and above any screening the person might have gone through. The scenarios mentioned in golie's post just about covers it all.
