Look, I don't want to start a religious flame war here, but.... When was the last time you traveled? The TSA has a huge board just inside *every* airport security checkpoint. And guess what, of the 30 most wanted, all of them are pictures of Muslim guys from the mid-east. Over the years I've seen the faces change, but they've never displayed any non-male, non-mid-eastern individuals. When they start posting the photos of toddlers I might be worried.

And yes, McVey was screwed up, the bombers were screwed up, anthrax nut jobs, etc. They were usually anti-government wing-nuts who went after government targets exclusively. They were evil, evil people harming innocents, but as far as I can tell they always justified as being government employees. I've never seen widely published threats against private industry.

Then you have the crazy church-shooters, school-shooters, etc. But those idiots wear black trench-coats everywhere and are loaded with weapons. A standard body scanner would see that, plus anyone with a brain would realize something was *abnormal*. Plus for the most part, those crazies don't even have enough money to purchase a ticket for an airport anyway.

Maybe I'll believe your reasoning when you can prove to me that any of these people ever considered targeting expensive civilian infrastructure. Plus, as far as I can remember, no American citizen has ever attempted violence against an American air lines.
