lmckenzie, And, as has been demonstrated by the airport security failing several times, even that scheme does not work. I would like to see the numbers behind how many supposed purpetrators were caught vs how many people went through with no problems. Then, an honest assessment on how many have actually circumvented the security and managed to bring weapons on board. I think you would be surprised at its ineffectiveness if the truth was known. To tell you the truth, I highly doubt the "commercial airplane as bomb" tactic will be used again, at least until the general populace become lax as they always do. There are plenty of other avenues that can be taken to achieve the same end results.
