Well, I never said that, actually. I'm for any security that is unobtrusive. I get the feeling that you want to paint my comments a certain way. That's fine, sounds like a stalking horse for ad hominem: "see he thinks this, so don't look at this on its merits." Just know why you are doing it, okay?
If you get a chance, please tell us why an attack on a screening lane is an acceptable risk, that "passengers should accept the statistical odds that the great majority of them will not be involved in a terrorist incident, making it an acceptable risk at the cost of the relatively few who are victimized by it."
