What headline/story line do you want these folks to carry to their editors?
"Security not improved!"
"Measures taken are a waste of time!
"Government not telling the truth!"
"Airport security is a sham!"
"Not safe to fly yet!"

I agree with you in the main...the only real improvement for security will come from the measures that won't be implemented. The major improvement we've all talked about already is the new found aggressiveness in the crew and pax. Maybe one of the reporters will undertake an indepth story about what real and possible measures can be taken.
