TSA already claims responsibility for checking out land-side security at airports in various places -- even airports in Europe.
I just hope that the securocrats -- not just at the EC level but also those at the national level -- don't go with a suggestion considered before by US DHS/TSA and done in some parts of the world even before DHS/TSA existed: mostly/only allowing ticketed passengers and airline/airport-approved employees to access the airport building's "public area" after showing ID/ticket info.
