A lot of activity with no real purpose except to convince the credulous to keep flying.
We'd still have security if we cut 95% of the crap in place right now. @:-)

No thank you. The Israelis are welcome to keep their policies of interrogation and harassment. If a government actor tried that in the USA they should be told to go do something biologically obscene to themselves.
