Putting all this effort into extensive passenger checks is a waste of time. A terrorist doing the same exact thing would make it much less effective in the first place, not to mention the chance of passengers not taking action the ‘next’ time around are nil. If they were obsessed with planes for some reason, its not hard to get a job at an airport, use a much less but just as dangerous cargo aircraft, or simply shoot them down(to name a few out of 1000 ways to terrorize the air industry). Its all a false sense of security. The fact we are now so paranoid yet feel secure because of the extensive security at passenger checkpoints is an act of self-maintaining terror in itself. If you were a terrorist, it would be laughable to look at how paranoid a population becomes.
