Faulty logic. *The bogus procedures have NOTHING to do with REAL
security. *They are just window dressing, and ineptly conducted.

The 9/11 hijackers used box cutters to gain control of the airplanes.
Very few box cutters have made it through the TSA checkpoints.

Maybe not box cutters specifically, but I work with several other remote
employees, several times a year we get together at HQ, we've traveled in
total with more knives then were used in the hijacking simply due to the
fact that each of us have forgotten to pull small knives out of our
laptop toolkits, and once you fly two or three times with an item
without getting noticed, it just isn't worth the hassle even if you
remember.

Lotion though, that they are good at.

The one thing that could have prevented the tragedy of 9/11 was
locking fortified doors to the cockpit. Have they done that yet?

Of course not, it's all about theatre.

I doubt it. Every older generation thinks poorly of the younger. I've seen
similar comments made just before the first world war on the British youth
of that time.

Doesn't mean that the observation is any less true.
