This article seems to miss the obvious question: if baggage screeners 
can remove items from luggage and successfully get them out of the work 
area, what is to keep them from putting something *into* a bag?  This 
is probably far from the biggest hole in the system, but anybody who 
sees this sort of laxness as "a small price to pay" hasn't thought it 
through.
