flowerchild-I concur! I flew home ALB-PHL yesterday. The screeners were so laser focused on looking for nail clippers, I doubt they would notice anything else. My bag was searched so the the screener could confirm that he did indeed see a nail clipper in my shaving kit. Once found, he said, "well, this is legal." Great, why bother holding up the line to search through my bag to find it and tell me. Meanwhile my boss's screener confiscated his nail clipper and said it was illegal, but he was welcome to go back down and check it. What a joke! Luckily we had the national guardsman overseeing the process with his rifle slung over his back and useless (and probably unloaded). Security needs to improve DRAMATICALLY! This windowdressing is doing nothing.
