I am really tired of the "Let's try this and fix the problems later" mode of implementation. Sadly, that is the default mode of government.

Funny thing is, in Australia and other countries, airport security uses ETD that doesn't suffer from this rate of false alarms. I get randomly chosen almost every time, take no particular precautions (avoiding soaps, lotions, etc) and have NEVER alarmed nor do I know anyone who has. Sounds like the magic "someday" technology already exists.
