and, the most bizarre thing of all: you fly a private plane, there are no security checks whatsoever. and you can take off from the *very same airport* too!

you don't have to own a plane to do this, just rent one.

it's more expensive than just buying a flight ticket, and private planes are smaller too - but if you're a person valuing comfort, it's not unreasonable.

or if you want to fly a plane full of explosives into a building, you can still cause a lot of damage... oh, and you don't have to hijack it, as you're already in the pilot seat to begin with...

I guess there is a missing option there:

I don't live in the United Police State of America

yes, Prey to the rescue, install it via LogMeIn, and then mark your computer as 'lost' - Prey will report the location of the laptop and make pictures with the camera.

of course, Prey installation is done via the GUI, so you have to pick a time when the thief is not using the laptop, but has it on...

they should just get rid of most of the screening, for everyone, not pilots. the current 'screening' is not more than a 'security theater', giving a (false) impression of security. it is invading, mostly harassment, unnecessary and totally pointless.

without such stupid and pointless procedures, the whole flying experience would be pleasant - again. with the same amount of 'security' as you have now.

and would be a whole lot cheaper too.
