JP, that reminds me my 82 year old mother taking an overseas flight ...... they inquired her to death because she placed her manicure set in a handbag and had with her cat. Poor cat what they have done to her, not enough that she was in a box, they shacked her tapped on the walls and so one. Yes my mother is definitely a potential conspirator....... <GGG> The main problem IMHO is that those people at the security checkpoints lack to many things even to qualify for today's security checks............. In a nutshell present proceedure are not helping much and only make life more difficult and more time is waisted in lines ............ not hell of a lot to protect passangers.

A good place to start is identifying people with expired visas who are still in the country and attempting to fly To me this seems reasonable. The major problem I see in actually implementing such a screen is that before you can check for expired visas you need to check who actually needs a visa. Which means figuring out who is and who isn't a citizen/permanent resident. Which means... ...passports and/or national ID cards for all Americans. McVeigh did a fair job levelling Oklahoma over less.
