Security is like birth control, nothing but not doing it will allow you
to be safe.

Ya gotta be kidding. Most of the airports are "managed" by local
governments and they can't get it right. What makes you think the Feds
are
able to do it. Where I live (Atlanta), the General Manager is a
politcal
crony of the Mayor and is an incompetent clown at best. If anything
these
airports need to be privatized and the security force needs to be
trained
and made to do their jobs. It's that simple. I work around the airport
so
I see it all the time.
My 2 cents.
