If a terrorist gets the dreaded "S" will he or she go through security? Of course not.

It's all designed to give air travellers the feeling of security. Nothing to do with reality.

But then didn't the system do its job? It kept a terrorist off a plane so it was successful.

Unfortunately, we will only see the negative when we fail.
