Yes, because it makes us all "secure".
....which, of course, is a bunch of bull, they fail miserably every single time a paper tries to smuggle something. We spend billions on something that doesn't affect real life whatsoever, we might as well burn the money. "Always on, never on" is how the world works.

Security is an illusion, it's simply not possible never will be. They are idiots for doing this, most of all because political correctness will most likely kill the very purpose, I am 100% sure no muslima will have to endure this, leaves you with nitwits who do something just because they can

Btw, I remember the pilots were angry because they had go through the same security measures passengers had to. Why on earth a pilot would bother to smuggle a weapon when they have a freakin' axe as standard equipment in the cockpit is beyond me, but it seems to make sense to the lobotomized....

Well, that, and they're FLYING the plane. It seems to be beyond the point where a pilot might want to endanger the public. Twice.

This is what happens when politicians are allowed to use irrational fear to cow the populace. Even Krauthammer is calling bs, fer chrissakes.
