Sounds great, if it were only that simple.
They should make it that simple.
Those would never work, Americans are way to overweight to fit in there.
As an airline management student, I have taken aviation security, and my professor was the either second or head of security at Denver international airport for 10 years If I remember. Unfortunately many everyday chemicals can set off sensors as they too contain petroleum products. I don't think racial or religious profiling in America will ever become accepted nor do I think it should. But travel to Israel where they DO profile you. They start asking questions before you even get to the ticket counter. If you're 18-22 year old Palastinian Male good luck, as you could be there for a while. Unfortunately or fortunately after taking some security classes and learning the terrorists are getting smarter and more creative, which in turn effects us with more security, and longer airport waits. If you want to really bypass the hassle, get a private pilots license which I'm in the process of, and go that route. It's not easy but at least you know who, and what is on your airplane. As a last bit of trivia, many people don't know that only 1 to maybe 2 percent of all cargo is screened on airlines (how to you think they ship your last minute packages overnight?).
Israel doesn't have the problems we're having because they have gonads that our country is losing. Profiling is not wrong if the group targeted has created so many deaths of US citizens. Without going further political - I'll add that I have my pilots license and with the increased hassle of even flying a little 172 since 9/11 I am not flying anymore after this license expires.
X100.....on the above. I remember in the 60's abd 70's , the few "misguided" people who tried to hijack Israelie plains..and who were shot dead as soon as they exited the aircraft....They know how to take care of problems IMHO.
Profiling exists where I live.
When I drove a lowrider for 11 years, I was pulled over dozens of times.
When I've driven any other vehicle, in the last 8 years, I've been pulled over once.
The police department states "we do not profile." I beg to differ and it has been a major decision in vehicle purchases ever since.
Why isn't the TSA doing the same thing?

Why embarrass one type of people when you can do the whole population without any obstruction from the administration.

having been around a few years, it comes to me that there might be as many as 3-4 ways to solve this trouble. coure iam not smart enough to do it. BUT we SHOULD have someone that can. way should there be only one way to fix this trouble.
