I'm not sure how much you fly, but I do basically on a weekly basis. I get searched 95% of the time, and I'm 6'4" and whiter than rice thanks to my Scottish/Irish roots. I've learned that if I were to book in at least one week in advance, I could avoid that search all together. I'm not a crook or a terrorist, but I know how to avoid cetrian aspects of security. Imagine what someone who is trying to commit a terror attack could do. When they announce that they are going to focus on Arab's much more, you don't think they'll simply use non-Arab followers they have to attack us?

I say that the currant system should be junked and they should take some notes from European airports where you have people with machine guns walking around and keeping people in check as they search for wrong doers with bomb sniffing dogs and the like, also teamed with heavy security. They seem to make flights on-time and travel efficiently, and I haven't heard of anyone being able to get a box cutter on board to hi-jack their flights.
