Don't know the exact date but has been the way it is now for many years.
I don't know if a security system could be devised that would mitigate each and every threat vector, especially without stripping the rights from everyone else.
Move the checkpoint back and that becomes the new attack point and so forth. Where does it end?
About two million people fly each day in the U.S. and this nut bag is only a blip on the whole scheme of things. Not saying that this attack wasn't horrible because it was but you don't go overboard to fix a problem that is unlikely to happen again. If we use that kind of logic then shouldn't demand that all airplanes be grounded since we know that there will be crashes in future years?
