Security Checkpoints Predict What You Will Do
An anonymous reader writes "New security check points in 2020 will look just like something out of the futuristic movie, The Minority Report. The idea of the new checkpoints will allow high traffic to pass through just as you were walking at a normal pace. No more waving a wand to get through checkpoints — the new checkpoint can detect if you have plans to set off a bomb before you even enter the building."

I have a better idea. Let's give up our "empire", withdraw from the World and adopt the Swiss stance of armed neutrality. Back it up with our nuclear deterrent.
Right after we figure out how not to depend on any imports, sure.
I was thinking the same thing for the longest time. But I visited Switzerland recently, and I was surprised to find that despite their neutrality and non-belligerent foreign policy, they were still able buy and sell goods and services from and to other nations. So despite conventional wisdom, it may be possible for the US, too.
I am not a crackpot.
Ah, sir? Would you mind stepping over here for a minute?

99 percent of any and all past and present attacks against airline travel perpetrated - through passengers or baggage! - were committed by people who a) claimed they were doing it for Islam and b) who have declared as being of Muslim faith.
All "airline terrorists" - against which airport security can provide any protection - are a proper subset of "People is Muslim faith".

Gadget security, no matter how good the gadget, is ever going to provide security.

There will be no one left to tell. Fundies decay to ashes when rays of gayness fall upon them. Didn't ya know?
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.
I want "bacon and a kiss airlines", where you eat a strip of bacon and give someone of the same sex as you a kiss. This proves you're not a muslim, and you can get on the airplane without any additional security theatrics.
meh
That would be FAIR trials were deemed un-necessary in 2001. 2025 the officers will be upgraded to judges and will have flying motorcycles and it will revolutionize justice by allowing the Officers to be judge, jury and executioner.
