Well all this engineer knows is that 911 had nothing to do with any failure of any baggage screeners. The federal employ of baggage handlers is a colossal waste of money that does nothing in the long term to make anything any more secure.

Screening baggage day after day hour after hour is a boring tedious activity. It does not require someone work for the Government to make it any more or less prone to work or fail.

Technology based screening with automated auto detection, (image processing auto analysis) augmented fallible whatever humans is the solution.
