If you watched the interview last night on PBS with the new security chief of the U.S. you will realize that there is no hope for the future. Answering questions from a prepared script, he did not know the process involved in trying to retrieve luggage when a match was not achieved. This is going to be the guy in charge of US security and he has not a clue how the system works. Any "ramp rat" would know the answer and the costly downstream effects. This guy was living in his own dream world, able to "talk the talk" to his political bosses, but unable to "walk the walk" when it really counts. These folks do not understand aviation, period.
