Airport security, adequate or a facade?

[StillHope]

In general,"you get what you paid for".
If you have a regular person with some training vs retired cop...
That person had to stare at the screen the whole day for what JWITZ called "starvation salary" or close to it.

Disclaimer: I am not saying that low wages should justify not doing the job.

I am saying that someone with police work or home land security experience should do the job.

But who is going to like the price on the airplane tickets then?
