| #5 Nice list, Dr Steve. If only they would implement it. (Of course, I'd be happy to settle for a small pack of Vietnamese potbelly pigs on each flight. They'd amuse the kids, and freak out the jihadi wannabes who would be afraid that they might get a speck of lard on them when the plane goes boom.) |

| #3 Make clear that countries with a significant number of al-Qaeda crazies residing within pay a price: for example, no more visas for ANY of their citizens to come to the U.S. If we can't trust them to take care of their citizens, we can't trust their citizens in our country. No more Saudi students or British visitors to Disneyland. |

| #2 I can fix this problem. For all international flights 1) Sky marshals. 2) Hand-screen of every piece of carry-on luggage. 3) Psychology screening: a trained screener talks to each passenger and looks for inconsistencies, anxiety, etc. 4) Shorten, not lengthen, the no-fly list, make it accurate as possible, and enforce it rigorously. Better yet, incarcerate every person on the no-fly list. There's a job for Interpol. 5) Make clear that countries with a significant number of al-Qaeda crazies residing within pay a price: for example, no more visas for ANY of their citizens to come to the U.S. If we can't trust them to take care of their citizens, we can't trust their citizens in our country. |
