[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 785066, member: 12570"] I may be stating the obvious but I think part of the problem is our airport security has been lax for so long that it will take a change in the mind set of the flying public before any security upgrades can be successful. We are so used to showing up at the airport, getting or showing our boarding pass and getting on the plane. The last time I flew (ALB-RDU) I sailed through security as I knew what to expect and had planned accordingly. I spent a year in Sicily and went through the airport in Rome. Keep in mind this was 1983. The airport security was handled by the Carabinieri, which is the equivalent of our State Police, armed with uzi's which they made no effort to hide. Screening procedures were very strict. While I do not advocate the use of armed security officials in our airports, I have no qualms about going through a full-body scanner or invasive pat-down if I can be assured that my flight will be incident-free.
