> Hi Dave, the old and potential new security measures have come in  
> for a lot of criticism over the past few days at the hands of the  
> experts of IP - as a frequent traveler myself I am certainly not  
> looking forward to new measures, particularly if they are not  
> effective. But I wondered if the list could address itself to a more  
> constructive question - what are the best security measures, and  
> more fundamentally what objectives should they address? To me, there

> reassurance, ability to apply, comfort, etc. What are the most  
> effective measures for securing planes - before the flight, at the  
> airport, and in the air? What is the correct trade-off between  
> security and cost? Security and comfort? Is it possible to deter the  
> professionals, and if not what are the implications? What is  
> reasonable to ask of passengers to make the system effective and  
> easy to implement?
