I agree completely. The people implementing these largely ineffective "security" procedures either have lost their minds or are just trying to reassure ignorant passengers. The passengers who go along with this nonsense are sheep or just don't know any better.

When a security nitwit tried to confiscate my disposable razor at LGA on 9/19, I protested until they gave it back to me.

Could someone please get serious about security and stop bothering us with ridiculous, ineffective measures like checking picture IDs repeatedly? (Didn't the hijackers have picture IDs that they had to show on September 11?) Reinforcing cockpit doors and increasing the number of sky marshals is all that's necessary. The rest is just silly.
