It might help if so many of the rules connected to flying were not completely idiotic. Bring a factory-sealed bottle of water to the checkpoint -- you have to throw it away. But of course you can buy an identical bottle 3 feet past the checkpoint. 2.9 ounces of shampoo is not dangerous, but 3.1 is. Of course it's fine to bring two 3-ounce bottles if you can fit them in your stupid plastic bag. Doesn't matter if you're wearing rubber flip flops -- you have to remove your shoes and put them through the x-ray -- which can't see plastic explosives any more than the walk-through metal detector. Oh, and the shoes on your feet have to be x-rayed separately, but the ones in your carry-on can stay there.
We're told so much sheer nonsense that is supposed to keep us "safe" that it's hardly surprising that a lot of people call all of it into question.
