Agreed. After all, the security checkpoint wouldn't have prevented the 9/11 attacks even if it had been the TSA, because the flight deck doors would still be vulnerable and box cutters weren't prohibited. ID checks wouldn't have prevented the 9/11 attacks because the hijackers all had valid IDs and valid boarding passes (even if they had been examined with a blacklight & loupe)! The ban on liquids wouldn't have prevented the 9/11 terrorist attacks because of the fact that liquids played no role in an attack that had an
actual possibility of being successful.
