People who don't want to evolve will just die from being miserable and hateful all the time.
People who don't want to evolve will continue to be employed at TSA HQ and will continue to allow their cronies to bilk the taxpayer for ineffective, over-priced technology designed to line pockets and create the illusion of security, an illusion partly based on the reluctance of some to believe that true security is in place if they or those they deem worthy of profiling are not being visibly gravely inconvenienced.
People who don't evolve will continue to trot out false black-and-white out-dated scenarios based on what they falsely allege others have said without recognizing that actual arrest records show that the real threat is the TSOs and airport workers with unfettered access to the secure areas based solely on a single background check.
People who do evolve will understand that the rest of the world stays safe without being barked at, groin-chopped, removing shoes, having bags rifled out of their line of sight. People who have evolved realize that flights originating in the rest of the world do fly over the US and land in the US all the time, filled with pax who didn't get barked at, NoS'd, groin chopped or required to remove their shoes.
