That solution is pretty silly anyway. TSA employees have already been found "connected to people on terrorist watch lists". Granted, those watchlists are mostly BS because they contain millions of people, where most are probably innocent. But if a terrorist group actually wanted to do an attack and that proposed policy was in place, I could see how they could get someone on the inside to just let them pass through.

But the point here isn't that this specific policy is terrible, but that any such type of policies are ineffective, much like the author says about the liquid bans and whatnot.
