Sigh.
Okay. Some terrorist entrepreneur figures out how to separate the ingredients for a bomb inside however many 3 oz bottles fit inside a 3-1-1 bag. Boom! Disaster!
Now what are you willing to give up?
People have asked me "what's the solution that is better than what the TSA is doing?" I've hesitated because I believe, still, that the burden of proof lies with those who claim the infringement of freedom is "small" relative to the benefit.
But, okay, here's a better solution. It's real simple. Allow anyone who wants to to board armed with a knife. Or even a gun.
Flight 93 to me suggests where the real counter to terrorist attack by air will come...from the other passengers on whatever flight is involved.
It won't stop bombs that come via routes other than passenger carry-on, but then again neither do security checkpoints.
I'd trust my fellow _law-abiding_ _non-criminal_ Americans to protect me on the plane more than I am confident in fancy body scanners operated by government personnel.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
