The site claims, after nine years, to be up to 75% screening. How many tons of unscreened cargo will fly TODAY one foot under your feet, while your 3.5 ounces of toothpaste is a major Al Kidda Tewwowist Threat Level Orange banned object, confiscated and thrown in the checkpoint Rubbermaid hazmat collection unit?
And notice the big security loophole. This only applies to pax flights
originating in the US. What about flights originating in
less developed poor third worldish whatever the PC term is for some foreign countries flights
to the US originate from? Lot cheaper and simpler to bribe a security guard and baggage handler there to load a booming object.
