After 9-11, I doubt you could take a plane with an Uzi. You might
shoot a few passengers but the other 150 would beat you to death
before you could reload.
This is not an uncomfortable couple hours and a trip to Cuba. People
understand nobody lives through a successful hijacking. You might as
well go down fighting. At least you might live that way,

I really do expect the bad guys to try something on a train or even
the subway. That might be more successful and if nothing else they
will scare us into ridiculous security somewhere else.
What would happen to rush hour if everyone had to go through a metal
detector to get on public transportation? Lost productivity would cost
us billions. The number of people returning to their cars would clog
overloaded roads tunnels and bridges.

True. And, this is why the TSA is such a joke because it is reactionary
organization. The TSA is not analyzing possible future threats and
working towards eliminating them.
