I wholeheartedly agree with scanning all checked luggage, but as to cost (let's face it, the cost will be passed on through higher ticket prices) vs the number of actual bombs, I'll let others argue the point.
However, as to bag matching, I think the idea has too many loopholes (if these could somehow be circumvented I would be in favor of the idea).
-What about the terrorist that buys a ticket from A to B but gets off at an earlier stop?
His/her baggage is still on board- OOPS!
-What about the suicide terrorist that is willing to identify his/her bag with explosives? OOPS!
