Agreed. but the alternative shouldn't be a watered-down security policy that is window-dressing at best. Since 2005, in the NYC subway system, there are tables set up at various stations manned by police officers doing "random" searches - like every 5th person has their backpack searched. You can refuse the search - but then you can't ride the train - at that moment. You are free to leave, unsearched and unimpeded. Of couse, if you're a terrorist, you can just cross the street and enter the station from the other side. Guess how many terrorists have been caught using this method - in place since 2005? Zero.
