Yet another take on air safety. Short of strip- and cavity-searching every passenger and hand searching every piece of luggage, I have no idea how you make air travel perfectly safe from terrorists, and neither does anyone else, especially the people in charge of actually trying to make it safe. Their bureaucratic approach so far has made air travel, once so simple, an inconvenient trial at best and a nightmare of delay and inefficiency at worst. It’s impossible to know if all these security measures have actually made us any safer, but I doubt it.
