All this brouhaha, Dear Gentle Reader(s), about pat downs and scanners at the airports makes one wonder.
Do we really want the perceived enemy to know exactly what to expect at the security points in our airports? Do we want him or her to know not to expect to have a full body scan or to know there will be a pat down which won’t disturb “junk”?
If someone is so convinced of the rightness of their cause that they will recruit pregnant women to carry out a suicide mission, do we think they won’t somehow ask, or trick, grandma to carry some explosives onto a plane?
How often do we read of some unfortunate soul who kills a child of their own to save the child from an unhappy life? Do we think that religious fanatics are less capable of such an atrocity?
If it keeps the potential bomber guessing, then whatever the Department of Homeland Security comes up with is pretty much fine with me.
Don’t give murders a road map.
Trust, but verify.
