9/11
so here we are. six years later. and there's been no other terrorist attack on u.s. soil. does that mean our airport security theatre is working? maybe but i don't think so. it's 99% likely that the bad guys know that we the people of the united states will not allow another 9/11 style attack to happen. you can crash the plane. but you can't use it as a weapon. people like me should be able to sign a sworn oath that i will defend the plane from terrorists even if it costs me my life. and having done so we should be able to skip the security theatre lines and just get on the plane.
