Then one day it is PETN.

Screeners should be screened. Pilots should be screened (sorry, guys). Frequent flyers should be screened. But, the screening should be reasonable.

It doesn't have to be a cavity search, but it should take place and is a relatively easy, common-sense way to close a huge security hole.
+1000 Reasonable screening for everyone, not OTT screening for grannies and hot young women and no screening for some.

Bonus.
