You're being disingenuous. I didn't say they'd get the same screening. I only said they'd still pass through the metal detector.

There is no perfect solution, but I don't think government can provide us the level of security some will demand without enacting a state of martial law. That's an option in my opinion.

Argh, stupid computer. That should read "That's NOT an option in my opinion."

On the contrary, I am being direct to the point. If you establish a special arrangement where some people get a pass from even a portion of normal screening, then terrorists will attempt to obtain that special status for themselves, and some of them will succeed. Once enough of them have done so, they exploit the loophole.
