It's all about money
as I say, it is all about money. Think of every single passenger or staff going through so-called-security with no drinks, toiletries and others and having to buy them airside. Now think of all these expensive x-ray, scanners, liquid analyzers, etc. And last but not least all the private companies hiring and training robot-like personnel and getting millionaire contracts worldwide.
Thank you Mr Bush, Cheney and the herd, thank you NWO, now the world is safer...
...but it sucks!
And more to come in terms of loosing freedom...
About the real security just think of the catering trucks going airside, do you believe there is no (0%) chance they bring anything they shouldn't? are they 100% sterile? NO. So if nothing happens now it's just because there's no interest for it. Maybe when they're ready to invade Iran or Venezuela we'll suffer more "terrorist" attacks.
