24 Airport Security: Practical But At Times Pointless Patrick Smith is a U.S. airline pilot who wrote in his personal blog that security measures put into place across the world since 2001 have been of two kinds — practical and effective or irrational and pointless. The first kind has taken place behind the scenes, and includes such things as scanning for explosives in checked luggage. The second variety includes things like frisking, X-raying, body scanning, and confiscating, and these, by and large, waste our time and our money. There are two fundamental flaws to our approach. The first is that they’re searching for weapons rather than people who might actually use weapons. The second flaw is the preoccupation with the tactics used by the terrorists on September 11, which was not a failure of airport security, but was instead a failure of national security.
