Question: how do YOU protect the public against this threat given that it's pretty clear the WTMD and HHMD will not detect the underwear bombs?

I've read several editorials this week which basically say: "Yes the NoS and gropes go too far, but we're stuck with it because no one has a better idea." Are they right? I believe the fight against the NoS cannot be won unless a viable alternative is presented.
Hasn't this been discussed thousands of times here already?

WTMD + X-Ray of bags + ETD. All you need.
