How about a good, proactive security system, based on intelligence gathering and actual risk management?
I totally agree with you.

What TSA is doing is not security. Rubbing peoples crotches, sticking their hands in our pants, or insisting that we step into a Strip Search Machine is not helping the TSA case when TSA allows most airport workers entrance to the secure area with no screening of any kind.

In my opinion WTMD and carry on bag xray should be the screening that most people receive with more in-depth screening if there are unresolved alarms.
