...did you just refer to a federal law enforcement info mining op / database as a "spank bank?" I can dig it.

Or maybe step outside the "They're gonna use da planes!" box for ten seconds and realize how wide open we are to a pedestrian wearing a vest, driving a truck or steering a boat. There are these smart people in the intel community the feel very strongly that we're largely ignoring the next probable attack phase: multiple small scale operations in ever-so-vulnerable in lily white suburbia; nutjobs born in America and recruited on YouTube. And we'd really be screwed if they could get foreign-born-and-trained mad dog killers in here.
One of my biggest issues with airline security is that it's high enough and already played out. The government is desperately clinging to it to have some type of perpetual success story ("Look! We foiled attacks!") while they turn a blind eye to where the next suckerpunch is coming from in the future.
All this focus on airline security is a little like a gladiator ditching all his armor except for his fancy titanium elbow pads.
Sorry for the masturbatory threadjack.
