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.

In spite of the huge budget, much of which is devoted to technology or experiments in new technology, the TSA job is primarily one where people are the critical success factor. The TSA jobs are constructed so that they are primarily mind numbing and low paid. Not a good environment for pride and success.
Does anyone else remember that the pre 9/11 TSA duties were handled by a contractor who did the job more successfully (as shown by testing) and with better paid employees. They were just not sufficiently politically connected.
With regards to Windows, I feel your pain. However full disclosure requires me to tell you that my daughter and her husband are managers at Microsoft in Redmond. Boy, could I tell you stories, but...
