Re: Thank you all for your concern

Those of us interested in the topic of improving the quality of airport
security & the human failures of implementing it ... need to be redirected to
some web site of passengers discussing what the problems are that we have
observed & what the possible solutions are.

So that as midrange_L returns to what is on-topic, and the US civilian
transportation systems go back on-line, we can apply our systems engineering
& analysis skills to an area in the real world that has been sorely lacking
from that kind of professional input.

On many many occasions while air traveling I have observed with dismay some
patterns of airport security is a farce, easily circumvented.  I have tried
to go through the system.  I have written letters to the airport security
offices detailing what I saw at their facilities that seemed to fall through
the cracks.  Perhaps my proposed solutions inadequate.

I am sure the mental health professioals will be out in force in the days
ahead to help with the grief.  One of my concerns is whether it will be
business as usual at the Airports, with claims of high security by folks who
are blind to many cracks in the system  ... even in times of heightened
security in the past, I have seen that Airport Security is like a patchwork
quilt of uncoordination.

I want to have the satisfaction of feeling like I am making a contribution to
fixing some of the problems.
