Wayne .... in my last job , I used to fly a lot , and security could get pretty anal sometimes .... not effective , just anal . It was complicated for me because of the hip replacement , which meant an automatic pat down . I was mentioning this to a customer of mine who was from Israel , and he made a statement that I thought was profound .... he said that Israeli security looked for terrorists while American security didn`t know what they were looking for . He also said the Captain and crew were actively involved in the security/screening process and had final authority on who did and did not get on their plane .
Looks like we still have a lot to learn and with the incompetent that is the current head of HS , we are in real trouble .
