I'm kind of curious, but do you - and others here - support 100% ETD of carry-on bags? We all know that just as the WBI does not detect explosives, neither does the x-ray. As pointed out here countless times, the only machines we have that detect explosives are ETD and ETP. So if you so not support 100% ETDing of carry-on luggage to detect exosives, how can you justify this glaring mile-wide security hole? Just honestly wondering....

Note, TSA is not considering (as far as I know) 100% ETDing of carry-on luggage, nor is it being conducted at any airport.
