Yeah, and there was very little screening done either, except for guns and IED's. The prohibited item list was almost non-existent. Now before you start arguing over the prohibited item list, remember that it takes a LOT longer to scan for all the items on it than it did before. Of course you can argue all you want, but until you have actually worked a checkpoint, your opinion is just that, not a fact. So if you want to drop to 3 screeners per lane, you better have 6 police officers on hand to handle the FF's who will certainly go off over the situation.

I agree with you that it takes more people to search for dimes and kiddie scissors.

What I and many other people are trying to say is that screening for dimes and kiddie scissors is a waste of time.
