I follow this thread now and then and sometimes a little amused. THe security level at airports is just stuppid and I cannot understand the pax accepting the whole thing.
But why is this concentratetd on the airline industry only? Are terrorists stupid? Why not bomb a train with 400 passengers or destroy the rails on a high speed link? Well, it's not my idea to give some advice, I just want to point out how different security is at the airline industry and a mass transport system which carries much more people world wide every day.
The answer is simple: The whole railway transport would brake down in a snap as it is absolutely not possible to do the same checks at all railway stations worldwide. But this shows how ridiculous all the measurements at airports are.
