Security at State Department lacking. Remember the missing laptop?

I'm reluctant to even pretend that the government should hire and supervise given their track record. I think they would be best merely for setting the standards on a national basis. From that point localities could accentuate as they felt necessary or as the public and airline employees found lapses and flaws in their particular areas. There needs to be some flexibility in our response to perceived threats so terrorists cannot just study the "playbook" until they find the method that will work. No Maginot lines or bunker mentality for me.

Courtrooms in my experience are the only areas where security is treated seriously and I'm sure I'm not being that critical even of their efforts.
