I don't disagree with either of your viewpoints. In fact I've been saying the days of the peaceful hijack were over since the 11th of September.

Still not the point though, that's the kind of thing they're looking for with wallets.

You have to remeber, the gov't and airlines have to be seen to be doing something. Doesn't matter if it's the wrong thing or not. This isn't about security, it's about perception of security.
