The yo yos in Washington want to take his nail clippers, and Gillette razor, and make him use a dorky plastic knife, and cut him down to one carry-on, but they can't stop ANY person doing the above as they are too lazy or thick to insist on positive bag matching. This works, is simple, and now happens on most if not all INTERNATIONAL flights.
What happens to that large suitcase? It goes onto the plane. With no visual inspection and a possible cursory X Ray check.
Chilling thought, and right NOW is 100% possible. And so easily preventable.

but even on an international flight positive bag matching won;t matter if there IS a suicide bomber, yes??
As someone who IS letting the terrrorists win by becoming scared s**tless to fly anywhere with all this....I am trying to make a semi intelligent decsion based on facts...and the facts I'm learning say that very few bags are xrayed or sniffed or looked at whether domestic or international....and if that's the case wouldn;t it be fairly easy for someone to put a bomb in checked luggage still..and if they were willing to die with the plane, well then, it seems kinda foolproof...
