Where do we stop in the pursuit of ever elusive airtight security? No vehicles anywhere near airports? Everyone must use clear see thru carryone bags like they require in some inner city schools? Frisking all PAX at security check points? Way too much effort and resources are being wasted in silly and ineffective measures while the basics are being ignored. Collecting nail files, clippers and plastic razors while the near minimum wage and undertrained "security" staff man the checkpoints seems truly backwards. Its not the real security measures that turn away potential PAX and it is not advertising campaigns or fare sales that will cause the high dollar biz PAX to come back - it is the gauntlet of silliness or in many cases the impression of this silliness which is causing second thoughts by many. Real security will never be argued by those who travel for a living but don't waste my tax dollars and limited resources collecting nail files!
