I agree keeping the bad people off the plane is first thought, but have you seen some of the goof balls that are doing the security??
If the air marshal does his job correctly, he shouldn’t be the first one taken out. If he jumps the gun or blurts out what he is, he’s an idiot.
An experienced traveler can spot the air marshals very very quickly. First of all the flight attendants treat them better. Many times they are allowed on the plan before anyone else. And they tend to have very small carryons. many times with a single heavy item in it that go clunk when they set it down.

Yes and those goofballs can really screw up your life, amazing isn’t it.
All the goofballs need to do is keep the guns and bombs off the plane. large knives would be an added plus. The passengers can take care of the rest.
