For a determined adversary there will always be a "workaround". Any adjustments will be temporarily successful.
HOWEVER....I believe that an organization with a budget of $7.8 Billion dollars should be 100% effective at stopping the casual tourist who mistakenly places a contraband item in their carry-on.
Because if that is OK for them to wander through what I consider to be a very cursory inspection, then why are we wasting our taxpayer dollars on this charade? (Or in Howard's term...the theatre of security....all show...no go)
But I guess in our Windows-based society, failure is completely acceptable now.
