Going thru security there, you are not asked, you are told to remove sunglasses and they will question you on what you did while you were there and where you were going... they pay attention to you and your reactions for the answers.

Maybe I'm not seeing the "middle ground" in terms of airline security, but I think if that's what it take here in the states, why not? Telling people they cannot bring any form of a liquid on a plane in the name of security is ridiculous. Get a person that is radical enough, they'll stick things up their ass and blow themselves up to just make a point.
What happens to people that are diabetic and need their insulin while their are on a flight? Go into a diabetic comma because the goverment cannot get it's head out of it's own ass over how to get a handle on airport security?
It has already been proven one too many times IMO of just how many loop holes are in the system. It doesn't end with the airlines, as it has been shown on buses and trains as well. All loop holes are meant to be found, it's just a matter of who is going to take the time to find them and how to manipulate the situation.
Been on a bus lately? There is all this chatter about how tough security is, but they never actually check anybodies luggage. Yeah, they wave their little magic wand around people, but luggage? Nope.
People want safety, but they don't want their balls busted over it either. If people really want to know that the person sitting next to them on a flight is really safe to be near, then some stones are going to have to be broken.
