It strikes me that one could kill a hell of a lot more people in the screening line in most of the larger airports. Several thousand with a properly constructed claymore type. My simplistic solution is place muslims in special seats that have tazer probes attached to them. They cannot get up from their seat for the entire flight. If they unbuckle the seatbelt the tazer probes whack them, if they start to act up, the flight attendant can whack them, or just let any red blooded american whack them just for in-flight entertainment.
You're 100% right. I had a ridiculous argument with some co-workers who actually think this is all something we just need to submit to. I told them they're flat out idiots, because the terrorists can simply detonate a bomb vest in the clogged security line. I mean, if they really want to destroy the airline industry, Napolitano and Obama have given it to them on a silver platter. First, create a situation that repulses the public and makes them extremely reluctant, then demonstrate its uselessness by coming in commando style and mowing everyone down. That will turn airports into ghost towns overnight.
