Thanks. What is most maddening is that all the time spent dealing with the cadets meant no "real" screening of passengers could take place.
I just described the incident to a friend who works in military intelligence. He shook his head and said that they broke two of the basic intelligence rules:
1. Know your community.
2. Don't alienate the public, make them feel a part of the security team so that they serve as your extended eyes and ears.

(Is it obvious to everyone that I have a spelling gene missing?)
