I agree. There are a lot of holes, but what is the alternative? No security, and everyone justs walks in off the street and gets on the plane. That would be nice, but unfortunately there are evil people out there who want to do us harm due to ideology and religious zeal. And, yes, quite a bit of it is due to our country's political decisions. But, yes, the gaps should be closed. And I'm sure that when you identify them, you raise the flag to the appropriate airport security officials?
