I don't know much about Kip Hawley other than he worked at TSA and was the brain behind disallowing liquids, for whatever that is worth. This is a nonsense pie

I don't know much about Kip Hawley other than he worked at TSA and was the brain behind disallowing liquids, for whatever that is worth. This is a nonsense piece. Not sure who he's shilling for now.
> Just to be clear, unless a PreCheck passenger is randomly tagged for a more thorough check, he or she need only avoid setting off a metal detector to gain access to the secure areas of airports. In other words, these travelers could carry a pound of C-4 plastic explosive in their pockets and get onto any airplane in America.
Let him. We could hand out C-4 to everybody during boarding. Without a detonator, the terrorist would have to gag each passenger his pound of might-as-well-be Play-Doh.
