I think the majority of FTers would support pre-9/11 security, and a significant number, including myself would support sniffer dogs, if used intelligently and if consideration were given to allergy sufferers. If a new kind of rapid GC/MS machine were deployed at airports to replace the unreliable puffer machines I don't see many of us objecting to that either. I think there's not really much more you can really do. That's about as far as you can go for security without becoming a police state.

I think asking for "alternatives" to genital patdowns and pornscanners is beside the point though. You are doing what is known as "begging the question". You haven't yet proven the premise that anything more than pre 9/11 security is even needed.

People here like Bruce Schneier because he writes very eloquently on TSA issues, despite not being an expert on the topic. I'm not sure why you seem to have a problem with him.
