How many “potential threats” have been halted as a result of the added security? We are reacting – not preventing – as though lightning will strike the same way twice.

Sadly, any of the potentially explosive liquids and items are collected into a barrel and remain on site at the airport. We assume the threat is on the plane itself. I suggest this is a gross oversight. What about the airport itself?

I am as concerned that we have spent billions on the “obvious, after-the-fact” tactics. I understand Israel uses a multi-tiered screening process that may even begin before you even arrive at the airport itself! They haven’t had an incident – ever that I’m aware of.

We are no more secure now than ever.
