Please, by any means, give me REAL security. Really make me feel safe in an airplane. Tons of us do wonder if it could happen again. But I do not feel safer when someone who just happens to be more dark skinned than me and comes from a different place goes receives unequal, different treatment. I just feel nauseous.
Now, what would make us feel safer? This might belong to another thread, but just for the sake of discussion:
Better detectors, for one. I've read countless stories of people forgetting their knife/lighter in their pocket and going through security without being stopped.
Also, I wouldn't mind having my ID checked as I board the plane. Once you're through security, you basically don't need an ID. Just your boarding pass. That's not reassuring
Air marshals would be great, too. They certainly could prevent a few guys armed with boxcutters.
The terrorists might not use planes next time. If they do, though, it'd be good to have smarter security policies, and way more effective than racial profiling.
