It's shocking to me the level of risk-aversion so many otherwise intelligent people have on FT.

0 terrorist incidents in 10 years. 2 very poor attempts.

Ok, you want more "safety" than that? And you have a multi-billion $ budget?

Why are you asking for more airport security, then? Your own personal drive to the airport is so much more dangerous.

Why not fund permanent sobriety checkpoints at high volume highway entrances instead?

So much more effective...

The suggestions for yet-more airport "security" - methods that are not scientifically proven and don't even seem effective under the lens of common sense - sounds utterly foolish.
