Air travel security is retarded - why?

[jjp]

The middle aged white guy travelling with three little kids (and wife and grandparents) and carrying two car seats on a flight from Miami during tourist season should not be stopped for additional search if he doesn't set off the alarm.

The main problem is too much carryon luggage. Why is there too much carryon luggage? Because the airlines hire crooks and retards to handle it. Nobody wants to check a bag because it will get lost/broken into/take an hour to show up on the carousel. Because the federal government has the authority to regulate air travel, Congress and the executive branch are in the pockets of the airlines. So there are weak protections for travelers' luggage and airlines handle it cheaply.

Charge people $10 for every bag they carryon (if it is worth protecting, like a laptop, you will pay the $10) but put great protections for checked baggage.

Also the stupid questions Did you pack the bag yourself. No my cousin chanting In Allahs name did.

also I found it interesting that after you pass the security check, you can buy a can of drink (350ml) in the store past security check point / carry it with you on to flight w/o any further checks.

Well this is pretty obvious as they're assuming that they checked you, so the new can of pop doesn't have anything in it.

Oh, taking off your shoes going through security is another high inconvenience, low deterrence measure completely analogous to the liquid restrictions. Who the [censored] decides on what gets implemented and where can I write to complain?
