LA Times: TSA warns of possible airline threat involving implanted bombs. Yep. Could happen. People could also just form their underwear out of Semtex, which would go through the pornoscanners just fine, and carry a blasting cap (the part that's easier to detect with sniffers) in their digestive tract. Or...
Yeah. Security is about mitigating risk. I hate to be callous, but locked cockpit doors and passenger awareness have turned commercial airliners from flying cruise missiles back into devices that can kill all of their passengers and a few people on the ground. In modern terms, terrorism involves threatening a lot more people than just an airplane's full.
The TSA is just a way to transfer public funds into private pockets.
