It really isnt that hard to get things past security. I've gotten a switchblade, scissors and firecrackers past. My brother boarded a flight with a knife once.

And most of my friends/family got mad at me for exploding over these unwarranted and invasive searches.

Same. I always get the idiotic response of "well it's better than being blown up in an airplane"......REALLY?!?!?

"We do take the matter very seriously, and we will certainly ensure that the officers on duty at the time are trained more extensively in groping"

Despite Saturday's security breach, the TSA said Wednesday it has become harder for hijackers to use box cutters to take control of a plane.

"There have been a number of additional security layers implemented on aircraft since 9/11 that would prevent someone from causing catastrophic damage with small cutting devices," the agency said in a written statement. It cited armed air marshals, bulletproof cockpit doors, pilots carrying firearms, flight crews trained in self-defense and "a vigilant traveling public who have demonstrated a willingness to intervene."

I love it. They admit that even if they let box-cutters through, there is no way for them to effectively use them. Got to wonder why they ban box cutters in the first place.

No shit. Knives on airplanes ain't gonna do anything. Cockpit doors are Kevlar reinforced and procedures are in place that you won't get to take over an aircraft no matter what.
