Only two things have made flying safer since 9/11: the reinforcement of cockpit doors, and the fact that passengers know now to resist hijackers.

Taking off shoes at the airport. Bloated no-fly lists. Random screenings & searches. Plastic bags full of 3 ounces of liquid. All of these are reactionary responses to terrorism. They cost us time, money, and privacy, but none of it works. And it won't until we address the causes of terrorism.
