5) Specifically include knitting needles on the list of prohibited items in order to prevent any rogue granmothers from knitting an Afghan and taking the plane down.

6) Create a trusted traveler program that allowed frequent fliers or anyone who was able to pass a reasonable background check to pass security with minimal intrusion.

7) Focus the government's anti-hijacking efforts on intelligence and threat prevention.

They are working towards a "Police State" . This is one more cog in the wheel. Remember, Dipshet said he wanted a civilian force as strong as the Military............Or a Hitler like Govt.
