But real security would cost more money and that would increase the deficit, or something like that! And it still wouldn't be tremendously effective.
The effective approach is to: armor cockpit doors, flight crew is sealed in the cockpit before passengers load, and all passengers and luggage is screened for weapons and explosives. Then increase intelligence work to stop threats before they get to the airport, because if you stop them at the airport, you've failed.
