I know it was asked before but after reading a lot of post and getting a understanding about everybody, things seriously need to change, but how?

I personally agree there should be no secondary screening of passengers if they don't ring. But what if a shoe or something contains explosives or another part of the body, how can we go about finding it?

I personally like the idea of a full body Xray but understand that its something a lot of people will never like done, so proably will never see it in airports.

A lot of the problem is people's loss of freedom's. And I agree with it, but its been suggested that we go overseas and get examples, heck, I've said that would be a good idea. Now after some thought, it might not be, because some things done overseas infringe on your American rights, so that might be out of the question to.

Another thing was Proable cause. Again I understand but I would like a better definition. Do you mean like we the screeners should prove your intent with a said item in your bag, or if something in your bag triggers interest, its ok for us as screeners to check it at that point?

But I must say, I like and support the idea of counties bag checks. Meaning we should be allowed to pick a bag, eletronic item, or box and screen it with a ETD. It isnt really a waste of your time and it does help improve security. (ETD is the machine used to take samples of items on your bag, with a swab and tested.)

And of course that freaking list, it needs to be redone and i completely agree with that.

So pretty much, what ideas do you folks have that could help keep you folks safe, while upholding your civil rights?
