It's time to bring the non-ticketed passengers is allowed into the entire concourse again. They have trusted the visitors who likely to watched the plane and etc. They love aviation very much. They will promised to the visitors will not want to get into trouble at all. This should be trusted the non-ticketed passengers.

I'm not convinced that the number of non-passengers is as small as you might think. I can remember the days pre-9/11 when it was difficult to get off an airplane because of the throngs of people crowding around the gate to greet arriving passengers. (Of course, this was also the old DTW airport with really tiny concourses.)

"Aditionally, passengers and crew offer our first and most effective line of defense."
That's funny, the TSA tells me the passengers are the last layer of defense.
The TSA wants passengers to believe that they are powerless to help themselves, that the only way we can remain safe is by giving up ever-increasing amounts of liberty in favor of their crackpot technology, mysterious mindreaders, and random, unpredictable security policies. At least someone is calling their bluff.
