And it's quite funny to see someone argue that we don't need screening because we haven't found terrorists, which in itself is not a verifiable statement. Ditto for claiming innocent intentions for "normal" people found with weapons. Little hint: A terrorist that looks like a terrorist is a failed terrorist. And to give a pass to all grannies is just plain reckless.
You're the only one who wants to get rid of all screening, or at least the only one who has suggested doing so.

Thoughtcrime, eh? I guess it is fitting you'd be concerned about such things, given your positions on airport screening.
