I can see this process going one of two ultimate directions -

Gender segregated aircraft with all passengers flying naked. (My brain burns)!

OR

NO MORE INSPECTIONS at all except for ones like El Al where PROFILERS look for the bad guys. Just think about it, we now have armored cockpits that are very resistant to intrusion. If we allow our fellow citizens on without these carry-on restrictions, then a bad guy will probably be lucky to get 5 feet before he becomes the victim. We know the alternatives and I, for one will be glad to be a martyr to the cause of AMERICAN FREEDOM!

The biggest problem I have with my own idea is that things like the "shoe bomb" are too powerful. If, as they are saying after this latest, Yemeni Shipping Bombs, are true, then a mere 4 ounces of C4 can kill an airliner.

So it is back to "Flying Naked!"

Want a safe airline? Fly the one that doesn't serve Muslims. Oh wait. The people have been so corrupted in thought that they now eschew clear thinking like that as "discrimination". Damn straight it is discrimination. The bombers are muslims. But oh, no. The 1964 civil rights act and thousands of lawsuits based on that abominable law have turned us into a country where you can't exercise our right to discriminate. They used to call it "free association". Check out the first amendment, clueless government school graduates.

Just turn on Sean Hannity. He'll explain how great it was the LBJ and the Republicans in Congress passed that piece of garbage that eviscerated our rights.

The only problem with this proposal is that it doesn't increase the power of the government. All that was needed post 9/11 was to make it known that everyone on the plane could bring along whatever arms they wanted to protect the aircraft. The flight crew would be armed as well. An additional declaration that for every single individual killed or injured during a terrorist attack of any kind, one mosque at random would be turned into rubble.
