The recent stories out of Denver are prime examples. Confiscating insulin puts the passenger at risk of death. Yet nothing, but nothing, is accomplished to increase security.

You'll find me supporting risk-based screening as long as the agency does it right. Unfortunately, the TSA's track record for doing things right is lacking.
