Eaxactly my point.
Every non US citizen is subject to the most rigorous scrutiny yet 95%
of containers are left untouched....homeland security is a sham.

Couldn't agree more.

The real joke here is, after you pass thru the scanners, you can buy
drinks in glass bottles on the inside. And they're worried about Swiss
Army knives and the like?

Security? Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa.

And on the aircraft, you're given bottles of wine, are served from
bottles, can purchase duty free in bottles, and your teeth are not
pulled in the name of security.

I've flown regularly for the past five years--often in first class--and I
have yet to be given a glass anything on a plane. Even the forks and
knives
are plastic.

You fly on some crappy airlines!

United, American, Delta, Southwest, a few other connectors. Lufthansa, El
Al, and Virgin don't seem to have intra-US routes these days, Oz. Maybe on
international flights I'd actually get a real glass wine bottle, huh? Then,
by God, I'd have a weapon to ward off those nasty terrorist people.

This discussion is so amusing as to be comical. Do you honestly believe a
tiny broken wine bottle would have the same impact as an open Swiss Army
knife?
