#1 Learn from the Israelis. Use well-educated, professional, highly-trained airport screeners to ask a few q's of every single passenger while he or she's waiting in line at security. Very easy to spot liars and nervous nells, esp those with one-way tix but no bags, islamic surnames, strange appendages strapped to the sides of their trousers etc.

Works for the Israelis and has done so for going on four decades. Cost? Maybe a billion or two per year. Cheaper than yet another stupid tech non-fix.

What! No slip shoe, post-dap hand jam or grinning sociolect jive? Who will we find for Hartsfield-Jackson?

We trained hard at TSA . . . but it seemed that every time we were beginning UNIONIZE ~~to form up into teams~~ we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing....

#3 I keep telling you guys, the system DID work. You just have to understand what the system is supposed to do.

1) provide thousands of gov't employee jobs that can be controlled for maximum political benefit;
2) provide after the fact cover for every politician and bureaucrat;
3) sort the shredded aluminum from shredded people so that the greenies will be impressed by the recycling.
