"They" don't need to look for ways to defeat the current system. Thanks to the gross incompetence of Comrade Secretary Mineta and his disgusting little cadre of subordinates, the current system can be defeated at will. In fact, it doesn't really do much more than act like a scarecrow. One hopes the crows get scared, because the stuffed dummy doesn't do much else.

Explosives can be taken past the check point at will. I don't think I can make that any clearer, but I'll repeat it: at will. Why? Because Comrade Secretary Mineta and his minions like DEN FSD Patrick Ahlstrom continue their disgusting little shoe perversions while doing nothing about explosives in undergarments or in body cavities.

Terrorists: you have carte blanche to proceed. Explosives in the pants, blasting cap in the laptop. A straw tightly packed with gunpowder might even suffice, though it's unlikely a real blasting cap will be noticed if you put it near similar looking components. Thank you, Comrade Secretary Mineta. And thank you to all the filth like Comrade Patrick Ahlstrom who perpetuate the Comrade Secretary's little shoe antics.
