I thought this article in The Atlantic was well worth the read.
Quote: “Counter*terrorism in the airport is a show designed to make people feel better...." - couldn't be a truer statement IMO. I liked the bit about the "Osama bin Laden, Hero of Islam T-shirt" and the Hezbollah flag.
Want fake boarding passes? No problem! Platinum status? Done.
Jeffrey Goldberg arrives at the same conclusion I have held for some time - airline security will only catch a really stupid terrorist. One could argue that fortunately many of them are of course!
