So if you use American name, and stay in your seat, you will not look suspicious, and therefore not be stopped.

Our non-security at it's best.

(It never ceased to amaze me that in the few times my pager or PC was hand inspected at an airport, I was asked to make the pager "beep" and turn the PC on and have a screen come on, both of which were "proof" to the security people that they were not a bomb. This of course assumes that a terrorist putting a bomb into the shape of a PC or beeper is too stupid to make them beep or have a screen come up.)

If security only catches the obvious, stupid criminals, it is no security. And in all the announcements, I haven't read where they fired the lot of them and hired smarter people for more money than minimum wage.
