This absolutely proves my point(s) in many ways .......however it is clear that there is a bias on this thread......and while i accept everyone's opinion i feel i might be wasting everyone's time here.

Please explain to me how I showed you that "the easier the screening the larger the threat, that is a fact." (quoting you)



I am not beating the system. I am taking water (not anything remotely dangerous) onto an airplane. This water is purchased airside and does not go through the security checkpoint (where, in fact, it is not allowed). All I am doing is getting it past a secondary and unannounced look into peoples bag which is not performed by airport security professionals. I have never been asked if I had water (in which case I would not lie).

If you think that taking any water purchased airside on a long overnight flight should be prohibited and punishable by not allowing this person to have the priviledge of not having to remove their shoes to fly within the US, I´m very sorry to say I believe there is something very wrong about your morals.

Now maybe i understood that as before the first screening and not the secondary, if so my bad (I don't think it was clear), however the statement clearly includes an intention of deceit (your word not mine). And i guess your point is that secondary screening isn't so good....uhh, ok so what.

As far as the rest of the drivel in your last post.......not even sure how to approach that.
