+1. You've put into words what I've been trying to express to others. Security is at the forefront of programs where we just spend, spend, spend without giving the first thought to what we get in return for the $$$.

The anything for security people do not take any time to evaluate the amount spent to reduce the risk of a terrorist attack by .00001. They also don't think that doubling or tripling the time for each person to get through the checkpoint matters one iota.
