Another insightful comment from Bruce Schneier in the latest edition of Cryptogram (Dec 15, 2005).
"Maybe people who have watched MacGyver should never be allowed to fly."
This comment hits the whole thing right on the nose. As I have stated before...the restrictions imposed on passengers have very little to do with security, and more about a political attempt to placate constituents.
Fortunately, it looks like Mr Schneier's and others words are starting to be heard.

Hopefully this is a sign that the DHS and others are starting to see that it is best to not do "movie plot" security and start to focus efforts in areas where security can actually do some good.
