They do not have security where it is needed most, on the planes. 3-4 guys with submachine guns on an flight, now THAT is a deterrant. The TSA people with rifles in the airport, that is a deterrant. Bomb sniffing dogs, that is a deterrant. Some bored unarmd 300 lb 55 year old woman looking at an x-ray machine is a small challange to many. I know the SF community has a saying. People are more important than equiptment. That is so true in this case, yet they are talking about throwing more money at the problem and buying more hitech gee whizz equiptment.

I suppose an important point to consider/make a determination on is at what stage of the passenger flow should all threats or anomalies be detected?
IMO, once the threat is inside the airframe you have failed. You could have a 105 mounted in the passenger cabin it would not matter once the door closes.
Any level of depth must be employed prior to the jetway.
