Schneier on Security: Australian Minister's Sensible Comments on Airline Security Sparks Outcry

Schneier on Security: Australian Minister's Sensible Comments on Airline Security Sparks Outcry

I've always thought that the added airport security is more hassle than it should be. I hate the fact that I can't carry a bunch of batteries on board but i can carry butane lighters and aerosols which makes an incredibly effective flame thrower. I also think the amount of money going into security is wasteful. It would be understandable if it actually helped stem the problem, but it doesn't. Anyone who wants to be violent and hijack a plane still can using the tools around. An effective terrorist would be resourceful. Unfortunately, security and the officials think that terrorists are dumb. There will be more attacks and we haven't found a solution yet. However, that's not going to stop me from flying.
