Closing the barn door after the horse has gone.
I would just looooooove to know how many bad guys have been stopped.
I don't mean those fools who have always brought their guns on board ... pre 9/11 planes were full of guns and we all know that some still make it through. I don't mean people with scissors, forgotten sharp things. I don't mean the harmless fuzzy ones.

So, in how many millions of searches costing how many millions of dollars have we caught real "bad guys?"
