Something to consider.

Put all your security in the airlines, they'll destroy a mall. Put guards in the malls, they'll destroy a sporting event. Put them there, they'll move elsewhere.

Regardless if we have total security or none at all, dedicated folks WILL find a way to make it happen. The question is, how much of your liberties are you willing to forgo in the quest to feel ' safe ' ?

Note I didn't say BE safe, I said FEEL safe. Because that's all it is. It's a big dog and pony show for our benefit to make us feel better. They want to down a plane, they'll do it. End of story. </silly movie plot terrorism> Hell, the really dedicated will eat a brick of explosive wrapped around a timed detonator. See your air screener find that one. "Sir, will you please puke into this bucket for me ? We need to check the contents of your stomach. " </end silly movie plot terrorism>

The point is even under the strictest of rules, these folks find a way. Do what you can to defend against it, but don't wipe out what your country stands for in the process.
