If we can define the "what", without specifying the "how," then we may be on to something. The "how" is the problem. There are many of us that agree that the current "how" is a sham and may be worse than worthless. It may, please excuse my suggestion as it is shocking, include an incarnation of the TSA that only basically resembles what we have now. But, it may not. We have to get smart. We can not keep on throwing things against the wall just to see what sticks.
Well, actually we can, but we shouldn't.
