Let's try to take the raw parenting emotion out of this conversation, ok? It's clear that many people are not having a visceral reaction to the video.

For the past 9 years, the technology and methodology to create a non-metallic bomb and smuggle it through security have existed. They are not new. There is no reason to believe that the risk of such a thing is greater this year than last year.

In that time, 2 out of 7 billion people have attempted to do such a thing.

There are hundreds of aviation risks greater than 1:3.5 billion.

Therefore, AIT and pat-downs are a waste of time and money. Collectively, millions of dollars of your money. And thousands of hours of your time.

Also, because they are distracting resources from higher priority risks, they are making you less safe.

Be upset about that.
