Spiff's point (I think) is that all this nonsense that they pull actually prevents nothing. It just makes people of average to below average intelligence think that something is being done, and that they're safe. Those of us with brains know that flying is a risk and that a determined person can probably outsmart the systems in place, and other of the new "enhancements" that they keep coming up with.
