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."
If I've misrepresented your views, please understand this is not my intent. I simply am puzzled by your view but apparently don't understand it completely. You are quick to criticize TSA procedures but offer no constructive suggestions. I thought I understood your view, and it appears that either you are changing it again or I misinterpreted what you posted. Even in your response, you really didn't clarify anything other than to criticize the current model. I'll leave it at that.
