A friend of mine loves the "new" security features. He walks through the line with enough nips on him to get him through the game(s) with ease! He saves quite a bit of money at the same time too!
Yep. It's a feel-good measure. That's it.

Great. Lemme tell you a story. So I'm down in Jamaica and I hire a cab. He's tooling down teh road and gets to a red light. He STEPS ON THE GAS and flies through it. I'm thinking, "maybe I didn't see it correctly." About 5 min later, the EXACT SAME THING happens.
"DUDE! WTF??? Why are you running red lights?"
"No worries, mon. My bruddah, he do dis all da time, mon."
A minute later, we are approaching another intersection. The light is green. At the last moment, the cabbie STANDS on the brake and we come to a screeching halt.
"W. T. ACTUAL F????"
"Sorry mon. My bruddah may be coming da oddah way."
You can screen a billion people. But if it's a billion people not looking to shoot up the place, you didn't stop anything. Tell me how many guns you found and how your technology catches 98% of illicit items versus conventional screening that catches 72% or whatever.
Reminds me of post-PanAm103 when the airlines hired guys to dress as security guards and walk around US airports with German Shepherds to make people feel safer. They weren't drug-sniffing dogs or anything. Just GS's with a dude in a uniform. LOL
the ultimate reality is that this will stop some obvious problem people that would have been caught otherwise. (It'll be interesting when the first racial-discrimination case comes against this thing.) But if someone means to do harm, none of this is a spit in the ocean of difference. It's all an illusion of safety. Every single bit of it.
