Security theater, especially since anyone with 1/2 a brain saw what happened in Brussels, and understands that if there actually were any terrorists, the most dangerous part of flying would be the hoard of people packed together in a twisty line waiting to go through security. Frequently either in a contained area, or right next to a public drop-off area. Said theoretical terrorists could just buy an ak47, convert it to full auto, walk into the airport and start spraying bullets into the cluster of people. Or for bonus points, load up a baggage cart with suitcases full of explosives and push them right into the people standing in line. The enclosed area near security at some of the airports would significantly increase the effectiveness, and/or the people escaping would likely trample a few more. Worse, the general inefficiency of the whole thing pisses me off too. I flew 3 legs on an international trip recently, and had to go through security 4 times even though I either never left the secured area, or in the case of Dallas the international arrival dumps people outside of the terminal rather than into it. Like really? I'm safe enough to fly a 15 hour leg into the US, but i'm not safe enough to fly a 1/2 hour domestic flight from Dallas to a little town? two words: "Jobs Program" Only I wish the result of said jobs program was better infrastructure, even if its just stone bridges on hiking trails ala the WPA/CCC.
