My point is that being “pre-screened” won’t guarantee you that you are safe from those that pass the test.

When our current system is 100% perfect in preventing shoe bombers, Fruit of the Loom bombers, and cargo bombs, get back to me.

There is NO such thing as perfect!

“When our current system is 100% perfect in preventing shoe bombers, Fruit of the Loom bombers, and cargo bombs, get back to me.”

Again, I don’t support the current measures. However, it is newly implemented. It will take time to show how effective it is in catching terrorists.

You can complain about the intrusive searches, but you can’t complain about the new procedures’ ineffectiveness until there is data to scrutinize. The measures are too new.

The failed terrorist attacks you reference occurred under the old system, and I think its fairly obvious to us all that you aren’t going to catch cargo bombs by searching an individual.

It would probably cost less to put more Air Marshals on the planes than it does to conduct these expanded searches.
