Just additional information that shows how foolish we are being. Why not take one tenth of one percent of what we are spending and put it into research and development. Put some really smart people that are not elected into a room for a few weeks and study this whole thing. Okay, they should spend a week at some major airports as well to "discover" some obvious weaknesses.

I really believe that intelligent review would show how foolish the entire process is. Get the mgmt away from the press and the politicians and see what comes of it.

I think we all know the answer to that. The screening circus,far more visible than Research and Development, makes a number of travellers and the majority of non-travelling people "feel" safe and gives them an illusion of security.
