The TSA is expert at shutting barn doors. I guess we need to see a few more escaped horses (or whatever) before they start working on prevention of NEW threats.
The airlines learned how useless the security questions were and stopped asking them. The TSA still insists that everybody has a boarding pass, yet anybody can get a boarding pass by buying a ticket or mocking one up. The place to check bp/id is at the gate.
