I can't believe that they would want to closly look at everyone who looks nervous, flying is unnatural at the best of time, let alone having people following you and staring.

I'm the opposite. I could walk onto air force one with a supersoaker under my coat and all I'd get are smiles. I've walked around metal detectors at SF and San Jose airport before. I've even walked onto planes without showing my boarding pass. It's a good thing I'm honest. If this made any kind of sense, they'd be looking for guys like me, not people who are already terrified of flying. The idea that people are going to be FURTHER harassed at airports is only going to make the air travel buisness hurt more. The best way to protect planes is a simple: put up a "If you try to hijack this plane, the other passangers have legal permission to rape you" sign.
