What a load of bollocks! If the baggage-screening process hadn't been just another knee-jerk reaction to 9/11 like a lot of other stuff
...and some thought had been applied: Instead of having to physically lift-off bags for inspection, they might have considered raising the level of the conveyor belts and installing a push-button operated gate in order to divert the baggage for inspection?! But no, let's not bother. That way, when the next airplane falls out of the sky because of a bomb, we'll know it'll probably be a disgruntled ex. TSA screener who had a grudge...
