Good points here about why we're not getting more more secure in the air. We need a system run by tough minded people with good sense--not a bunch of rentacops who confiscate tweezers and nail clippers why allowing shoebombers to board planes.

This is why I have proposed letting passengers search each others' luggage. Nobody would be more careful. Anybody who still didn't like the looks of his fellow passengers should be free to pass and take the next flight.
And if three-fourths of the passengers refuse to fly with someone who creeps them out, they should be allowed to bump that person, no questions asked.
If we have to be there three hours early, we should be given something to do other than stand in line.
If this offends someone's "right to privacy," tough. They can take the bus. The right to life trumps the right of privacy.
