Wow. This veered off course pretty quickly, but I guess my post wasn't clear. My issue was with educating folks about how willing they are to sacrifice their civil liberties to the impotent god of security all the while chanting the mantra of "9/11" like they are the former mayors of NYC.
With TSA operating under the belief that a real name/fake BP at the TDC followed by fake name/real BP at gate is impossible, and yet that the name of a passenger can be a threat to aviation, it seems inevitable the smart people, people with some power will eventually buy into the hype.
