Here are my suggestions: http://meteorologicalmusings.blogspo...-security.html

In short: Dump the grope searches and nude machines. Keep the metal detectors and keep the swabbing for bomb-related chemicals. Keep or increase the scrutiny of checked bags and INCREASE the scrutiny of air cargo and INCREASE the scrutiny of the people who service the planes (there is nearly zero now).

Drop the liquids bad and shoe carnival. There is no significant threat there.

Most of all stop overreacting! The whole point of terrorism is to terrorize. Unless you want to be fighting this war 25 years from now, we have to demonstrate to the terrorists that we will not be deterred.
