Also in today’s issue of USA Today was this story about the ill conceived, so-called “SecureFlight” program that the U.S. Congres suggested following the attacks of September 11, 2001.

Oh, yeah, the House of Representatives is just the place to find a plethora of individuals who you would want designing security systems. Not!

Let me boil it down for everyone:

If you have two pathways to enter a secure area (in this case, the airports), one high security path (what passengers go through today) and one low security path (what SecureFlight and other registered traveler programs would do), which do you think terrorists are going to attack? If you said the low security path, you’re right.

It’s that simple. These programs will, if allowed to launch, completely undermine the rest of the security operations at airports.
