I saw this article this morning and couldn't help but have the reaction, "Duh! We have been discussing this on FT for over a year."

At least there is finally some media coverage of the ineffectiveness of the shoe carnival. If TSA wanted to swab my shoes every time I would be the most cooperative passenger they have ever had.

Life involves much give and take, and I'm willing to give some time and convenience in exchange for real security (ETD), but not for the dog-and-pony show presently on offer.
