It's not so much facism as simple stupidity. Most of the measures
undertaken to protect the airlines since Sept 11th have been
misguided or just dumb.
The Penn flight taught the hijackers a lesson that the Airport
guardians have yet to learn. Boxcutters, little knives, etc are not
going to allow you to hijack a plane any longer. The folks will
rise up, toss their luggage at and then beat the crap out of anyone
who tries.
As long as a gun or bomb doesn't get aboard and the cockpit is
sealed things will be okay. The airport security folks should be
concentrating on finding explosives using chemical sniffers or
something and stop annoying the passengers.
